The Edo period begins (Tokugawa shogunate), a feudal military dictatorship that lasted until 1868. Japan was unified and the shogun's government was consolidated in Edo, today's Tokyo. This moment accompanies a growing economic expansion and a renaissance of Japanese art.

Social groups such as artisans and merchants rose socially and artists who were previously dedicated to representing a select minority began to portray everyday scenes of the common people.
