In addition to ukiyo-e, menko (Japanese playing discs), karuta and hanafuda (both Japanese card games) were all creation of woodcut printing, which helped the printing culture flourish. Ukiyo-e were also brought onto ships and spread overseas. In the early 19th century, ukiyo-e were introduced to Europe where they were used as wrapping papers to protect potteries and china. Though not so expensive at first, ukiyo-e's value has gone up since, and a piece of well-preserved fine ukiyo-e supposedly sells for several millions to several tens of millions of yen now. The people at the time were apparently surprised that such fine art works were being used as wrapping papers. Ukiyo-e would turn out to be a significant influence on Western impressionist painters later on.
