Ukiyo is the Japanese word I love.
Ukiyo “the floating world”, literally getting lost in pleasure, living the present moment detached from the problems of life. Ukiyo is a real lifestyle, it involves achieving a mental state of peace and pleasure.
The philosophy of Ukiyo is the invitation to enjoy the small and ephemeral daily pleasures such as the warmth and scent of a cup of tea

The philosophy of the floating world was born in the eighteenth century. Ukiyo is a Japanese artistic language.

Nature has always been a fundamental element in Japanese culture, it is the deepest tradition of Japan, flowers and animals, rocks and rivers, possess a soul and a divine nature. The Ukiyo artists depicted them as if they were living beings, subjects worthy of real portraits and not just described as a purely decorative element.
Nature is seen as a source of beauty, inspiration and spirituality
