Its record names no artist, subject, or specific place, so the particulars of this sheet are hard to confirm, and the label calling it a photo print does not fit a woodblock image. Ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," were made by carving designs into wooden blocks and printing them in ink, which let townspeople in Edo buy affordable images of actors, beauties, and famous scenery. A woodblock print dated to around 1750 would come from the early period of the form, before multicolor printing became common in the 1760s, so the date deserves some caution.
