http://www.bahnhof.se/~secutor/ukiyo-e/ This site includes an extensive gallery of images, a catalogue of Japanese woodblock prints, and a discussion forum on Japanese prints and woodcuts. It is an art closely connected with the pleasures of theatres, restaurants, teahouses, geisha and courtesans in the even then very large city. Many ukiyo-e prints by artists like Utamaro and Sharaku were in fact posters, advertising theatre performances and brothels, or idol portraits of popular actors and beautiful teahouse girls. But this more or less sophisticated world of urban pleasures was also animated by the traditional Japanese love of nature
