Resources for Japan Scholars: Ukiyo-e Portal Database
Ukiyo-e Portal Database
Hosted by Ritsumeikan University’s Art Research Centre, this database facilitates detailed searches of ukiyo-e that are catalogued in the pubic domain. Users can search according to censor’s seal, publisher, printer, characters depicted, and can also drill down into details of kabuki performances depicted, using fields for searching specific actors, play titles, theatres and performance dates.
