Shini-e is a type of ukiyo-e<\/em> woodblock print that provided fascinating insight into popular kabuki actors and other well-known performers. These memorial prints were popular from the mid-Edo to the late Meiji periods. They were primarily produced to announce the passing of a celebrity. The artwork would usually feature a motif that represents death, such as the Sanzu River, lotuses or a depiction of the Buddha’s Western Pure Land, in order to make it clear that the individual was no longer part of this world. The colorful and humorous artwork reveal a lot about what people in the Edo Period thought about death. <\/p>\n
