Japanese Art in the 1600s
The 1600s, also known as the Edo period, was a time of relative peace and stability in Japan, which allowed for a flourishing of the arts. This period saw the rise of a new social order, with the samurai class at the top and the common people at the bottom. This social order had a significant impact on Japanese art during this period, as it influenced the subject matter, style, and techniques used in art.
