The Stuart Jackson Gallery is the oldest gallery dealing in antique Japanese woodblock prints, Ukiyo-e, in Canada.
Ukiyo-e, meaning 'pictures of the floating world', was the most popular art form of 17th -19th century Japan. 'Ukiyo' was a Buddhist term referring to the melancholy transience of life. The concept was punningly altered to mean the fleeting pleasures of everyday life. Ukiyo-e depicted these pleasures, primarily through the medium of woodblock prints.
