Ukiyo Lifestyle

Ukiyo is rooted in Japan’s history. It means “浮 – float” and “世 – world/society.” It was used to describe Japanese lifestyle to escape the pressures of the world and rediscover meaningful pleasures. We live for those little "big" moments. "I recognised a culture that had evolved to cherish peace amidst the pressures of modern life - if only for a few minutes at a time. But in a floating world - a Ukiyo world of reflection and enjoyment - a few minutes can make all the difference." - Davide Barbieri Founder of Ukiyo Sense
