The Ukiyo-e Collection is a collection of paintings depicting the lives, customs and natural scenery of the Japanese people, created by important Japanese ukiyo-e painters represented by Hokusai Katsushika, Utamaro Kitamaro, Uoya Kitakei, Utagawa Hiroshige, Yoshida Hiroshi and Kawase Hasui from the mid-to-late 18th century to the first half of the 20th century. The selected works mainly include Hokusai Katsushika's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" and Utagawa Hiroshige's "Spring Section" series.
