Simple, Progressive, and Sensual

Ukiyo-e (浮世絵, Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japaneseand 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'd say this is maybe 50% accurate. There are things that I definitely see about myself, other things I'd like to see about myself, and some things that are rather off-base.

The thing is that the art included in the test didn't really hit what I really like (you know the saying, "I don't know much, but I know what I like"? Yeah). I discovered at an art auction last year that I really like watercolors. I can speak at least with minimal knowledge on the Pre-Raphaelites. I really like Van Gogh's "Starry Starry Night." But my own artistic style does seem to lend itself to the less-is-more theory, so maybe there's something to this.
