    The Mountain Path At Utsu Analysis

    The Mountain Path at Utsu and the Autumn Festival were both created during the Edo period, which lasted from 1615 to 1868 C.E. During this time period, the capital shifted from Kyoto to Edo, or today's modern Tokyo. The Edo period also represents a movement in society away from a strict hierarchical system, where the samurai class held less influence on the arts. Instead, the artisans and merchants "were free to reap the economic and social benefits of this prosperous age." Since, there was no ongoing war in Japan, the samurai class could only fill certain jobs, this let the middle class citizens gain more wealth than the samurais. This time also marked a shift away from outside influence, as it was isolated in 1638 C.E. from foreigners entering…
