Ukiyoe are pictorial works depicting people's lives and the state of the world, and developed as part of the popular culture during the Edo period.
In the late 19th century, it had a great influence on European painters, such as Van Gogh, and attracted attention from all over the world.
During the Edo period, Fujisawa was the location of the Fujisawajuku on the Tokaido Road and the Shojoko-ji Temple (Yugyo-ji Temple), the head temple of the Jishu sect of Buddhism. As the gateway to Enoshima Island and Mt. Oyama (Mt. Afuri), which were places of worship and recreation, Fujisawa also served as the location for many ukiyoe paintings rooted in famous landmarks and legends.
