From the Edo to the Meiji period, ukiyo-e prints frequently featured animals alongside people. These animals were depicted not only in cute or humorous ways, but also as symbols used for satire or to comment on current events of their time. Enjoy depictions of animals created by renowned ukiyo-e artists such as Utamaro, Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Kuniyoshi.
