Ukiyo-e is a Japanese term that translates to "pictures of the floating world." It's a type of woodblock printing that originated in the Edo period of Japan and became popular during the 17th and 19th centuries. To pronounce ukiyo-e correctly, you'll want to focus on the "u" sound and make sure it's not too long or drawn out. The "ki" sound should be short and crisp, while the "yo" sound should be emphasized a bit more. The final "e" sound should be pronounced like the "ay" in "say," but with a bit more emphasis on the "e" sound itself. So all together, ukiyo-e is pronounced as "oo-key-oh-ay."
