Undoubtedly ukiyo-e can be called a product of the Edo period. As is well known the Tokyo National Museum is keeping an enormous number of ukiyo-e prints of which 'the Matsukata collection of ukiyo-e prints' is the nucleus. Not only Japanese but also the ukiyo-e enthusiasts around the world know that the collection of more than 8000 ukiyo-e prints which the prominent businessman Kojiro Matsukata purchased from the jewelry dealer Henri Vever in Paris is excellent both in quality and quantity. For this special exhibition 282 ukiyo-e prints were carefully selected from the Matsukata collection in order to display the history of ukiyo-e prints from their earliest days to the end of the Edo period." excerpt from Greetings April 1991 Kyoto National Museum Tokyo National Museum and The Kyoto Shimbun.
