7 Ukiyo-e, 5 Islamic, -15 Impressionist, -12 Cubist, -12 Abstract and 5 Renaissance!

Ukiyo-e ( Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japanese paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries. it mostly featured landscapes, historic tales, theatre, and pleasure. Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity. Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.

People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.

I like Impressionism quite a bit (although the choices didn't grab me like some of the others, so the low score on that was surprising but understandable). It was the non-representational art that I really liked, which is also surprising, as I didn't 'get' abstract or cubist art for the longest time. But I've never really gotten into this style of Japanese art per se. Hmmm...maybe my art appreciation is finally maturing/expanding. I must admit, however, much of the description is right. I don't think much beyond the now, I don't like to argue, and I tend to be somewhat pleasure-seeking (mostly to do with food, rather than sex, though). I would not make a good entrepreneur, however, as I have no head for finances whatsoever (which you've probably figured out by now--I look at a prospectus from my retirement fund and it's worse than Greek to me--I at least had two semesters of Greek and did pretty well until we hit the aorist).

By the way, this is post 4,800. Only 200 more to go till 5,000. Whew! I've written quite a bit in nearly eight years.
