Ukiyo-e
    Keywords: Culture & History

This is not really Go-Related, but there are several Japanese ukiyo-e prints relating to Go.

Most are based on a few themes based on Japanese legends,or are of kabuki actors or beautiful women playing go.

You can read about and see some of the prints [ext] here.

For those who do not know, in the 18th and 19th centuries especially, ukiyo-e was a common printing process in Japan,using four woodblocks(one each for yellow, black, blue,and red), to make advertising posters as well as prints for sale.
