Looking for old drawings

[medenfield]

Konichiwa,

I am in the process of helping design a web site for my dojo and wanted to include some classic drawings of Samurai etc...

Does anyone know where I could find some good quality images?

Wasn't there at one time a clip art section of e-budo up near or in the Member's Lounge?

Also, do a google image search under ukiyo-e and that should give you a lot of woodblock prints of samurai, actors, and other characters. As I understand it, ukiyo-e means "floating world," the cultural setting of the Edo (?) period, but it also stands for that specific type of art and subject matter, which frequently revolves around plays, geisha, actors, samurai, heroes, and the like.
