Printed or painted ukiyo-e images of this environment emerged in the late 17th century and were popular with the merchant class, who had become wealthy enough to afford to decorate their homes with them.
As imaxes ukiyo-e, impresas ou pintadas, deste ambiente xurdiron a finais do século XVII e acadaron popularidade entre os mercadores, para entón xa suficientemente podentes como para permitirse decorar os seus fogares con elas.
