If anyone is interested in Ukiyo-e prints, there's a really fun episode of Samaruai Champloo that talks about them and gives a glimpse of the role they played as a sort of pop culture during the Edo period:

Also check Dave Bull's channel, he has been living in japan and learning woodblock printing for a long time, both as a carver and as a printer. He has a shop/workshop in Asakusa if you want to go there next time you are in Tokyo. They have both modern and old prints.

I have several of his prints from the original Ukiyo-e series. The prints are incredibly interesting in their own right, since they use inks with very low opacity.

They're amazing pieces of art, and well worth collecting IMO.

Could be a Cruncyroll error. Looks like it's on Hulu and Apple TV too.
