The Art of Tranquility
A Tale of Loyalty, Faith, and Survival during Japan's Turbulent 17th Century
Ukiyo-e, the traditional Japanese art of woodblock printing, was said to have reached its zenith in the 17th century. It was an era of blooming beauty, with delicate petals unfurling, as the brush strokes of great masters danced across the paper. The warmth of this period was not limited to the artistic sphere, however. The 17th century was also marked by war, revolution, and the struggles of a nation in transformation.It was against this backdrop that our story begins.
