''Nikuhitsuga'' were a form of Japanese [[painting]]  in the ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' art style. Though the [[woodblock prints]] of this genre have become so famous in the West as to become almost synonymous with the term "''ukiyo-e''", in fact most ''ukiyo-e'' artists were painters as well as printmakers, with much the same style and subjects. Some turned to painting at the end of a career in prints, while some, like [[Miyagawa Choshun|Miyagawa Chôshun]] and a number of the artists of the [[Kaigetsudo school|Kaigetsudô school]], never made prints and only worked in paintings.
