浮世絵 (Ukiyoe) is a type of Japanese art, which translates as something like 'woodblock prints.' Luckily for me, it just so happens that an amazing exhibition of ukiyoe is showing at Nagoya City Museum currently (until the 6th of May 2014).
But, unfortunately, every silver lining has a cloud, and this cloud was that you aren't allowed to take photos in Japanese museums...
Still, you can get a bit of an idea from the below advertisements that I photographed.
And here's a photo of us at the exhibition (with our Japanese sensei):
If you're interested, I urge you to explore Ukiyoe more...I enjoyed the exhibition greatly!
You can view quite a wide range of images at:
