Genroku culture

Genroku culture (Genroku bunka in Japanese) is the culture of the early Edo period (1603–1867), especially the Genroku era (1688–1704). Known as a period of luxurious display when the arts were increasingly patronized by a growing and powerful merchant class.

It is generally felt that the Genroku era marks the high point of Edo period culture. Two representative artists of Genroku culture are Rimpa school artists Ogata Kōrin and Hishikawa Moronobu, who is regarded as the founder of Ukiyo-e. The term “Rimpa” (琳派) is an amalgamation of the last syllable of “Kōrin”. Torii Kiyonobu I was another Ukiyo-e artist.

Novels and poetry

The main elements of the emerging bourgeois culture were brought to their first flowering in Osaka and Kyoto, in the area called Kamigata. Examples are the jōruri and kabuki plays of Chikamatsu Monzaemon, the Ukiyozōshi of Ihara Saikaku, and the poetic essays and haiku of Matsuo Bashō.

Kabuki

Aragoto-style actor Ichikawa Danjūrō I, wagoto-style actor Sakata Tōjūrō I, and onnagata actor Yoshizawa Ayame I are famous kabuki actors of the Genroku era.

gollark: I actually just ran out of time to do a cool solution, so I took the most working python thing I had, ported it to C in a way which was technically wrong but also worked due to a coincidence I found out about after reanalyzing it internally, and then quickly shoved together a thing to replace all the tokens with bits of the navy seal copypasta.
gollark: I don't understand what ridiculous nonsense you did but stop doing it, retroactively.
gollark: Okay, so Kit was *not* bluffing?
