Desai, President of the Asia Society.; "This exhibition brings together approximately one hundred fifty paintings, woodblock prints and illustrated books, with images known as ukiyo-e, or pictures of the floating world - The floating world was a new leisure industry of popular entertainment centered in the shogunal capital of Edo (modern Tokyo).
