The nineteenth century ukiyo-e, with the exception of those genres not fully developed in the eighteenth century - surimono, landscapes, and more recently warrior prints, asobi-e and fan prints - has never received the critical attention it justly deserves.

Nobukazu Watanabe is a typical printmaker of the late Meiji period. The haydays of ukiyo-e - traditional Japanese woodblock prints - had been over. Photography and lithography replaced more and more the old craft. Publishers and artists tried to keep themselves afloat with print subjects of the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars, images from the imperial court and history scenes.
