The Representation of Women in Edo Period Nikuhitsu Ukiyo-e Paintings
The male gaze and its objectification of women may differ in specifics when it comes to comparing Eastern and Western art forms, but this issue holds a central place in the history of art regardless of the country of origin, style or medium.
