Period
Okumura Masanobu created his pieces of works during the Edo period in Japan. Most of them were finished in the early Edo Period around the 1720s. This period greatly influenced Masanobu’s style. The Edo period also showed through his work by painting and drawing about the courtesans; the complications of the spiritual and social roles were often recognized4. He knew how to pull in what was happening in the outside world and depicts it through his art. Masanobu was a very clever man and wanted his art work to reflect what he believes in and stands for. He was one of the most famous and inspiring artists of the Edo period.

But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it.”
