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.

Famous quotes containing the word period:
“It is as if, to every period of history, there corresponded a privileged age and a particular division of human life: “youth” is the privileged age of the seventeenth century, childhood of the nineteenth, adolescence of the twentieth.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss. It was more than that. It was the period in which we suffered more total losses than in all the rest of our life put together.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
