Traditional ukiyo-e woodblock paintings may be Japan's most iconic form of art. While it thrived from 17th to 19th centuries, the style still survives today with contemporary subjects such as David Bowie and NBA stars. Talented illustrator and manga artist Ono Tako (@ono800) is keeping that trend alive with their absolutely gorgeous ukiyo-e renditions of Disney princesses and Sailor Moon.
