Ukiyo-e (浮世絵) is a traditional Japanese art form of woodblock illustrations that was popular from the 17th to the 19th century. The term literally means "pictures of the floating world" and reflects everyday scenes, landscapes, famous actors, and beautiful women from that time.
Reversed glass is a painting technique where the artist applies paint to the back of a glass panel. When you view the painting, you see the image through the glass, creating a unique and sometimes glossy effect. This technique can give artworks a special appearance, making them look different from traditional paintings on canvas or paper.
