Initially the term Buddhist ukiyo referred to the ephemeral character of life and all that it entails. However, in the seventeenth century this term began to designate a way of life dominated by the passing pleasures of parties, fashion, the world of the theater, mercenary love, clandestine passion and ephemerality, precisely the practices that prevented the Buddhism. This is what this artistic genre is all about.
It should be recalled that the aesthetics of the horimono as we know it today began to develop in parallel with the Ukiyo-e. That is, the aesthetics of the traditional Japanese tattoo. is totally linked to this style of visual production and its great artists.
