ukiyo
describes the urban lifestyle, especially the pleasure-seeking aspects, of Edo-period Japan (1600–1867). The Floating World culture developed in Yoshiwara, the licensed red-light district of Edo (modern Tokyo), which was the site of many brothels, ''chashitsu'', and kabuki theaters frequented by Japan's growing middle class. A prominent author of the ''ukiyo'' genre was Ihara Saikaku. The ''ukiyo'' culture also arose in other cities such as Osaka and Kyoto.
The famous Japanese woodblock prints known as ''ukiyo-e'', or "pictures of the Floating World", had their origins in these districts and often depicted scenes of the Floating World itself such as geisha, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, samurai, ''chōnin'' and prostitutes.
The term ''ukiyo'' (when meaning the Floating World) is also an ironic allusion to the homophone , the earthly plane of death and rebirth from which Buddhists sought release.
