Genroku culture information


Irises screen by Ogata Kōrin

Genroku culture (Japanese: 元禄文化, Hepburn: Genroku bunka) is the term used to describe the culture of the early Edo period (1603–1867), in particular the Genroku era of 1688–1704.[1][2] Genroku culture is known as a period of luxurious display when the arts were increasingly patronized by a growing and powerful merchant class.[3] The Genroku period is associated with two pleasure zones: the brothel district and the theaters. These two areas were often located near each other on the margins of respectable society. These constituted the ukiyo ("floating world") celebrated in woodblock prints of prostitutes, actors, and pornography.[4]
