Dated 1750, this image belongs to the early years of ukiyo-e, the Japanese woodblock tradition that portrayed actors, courtesans and daily life in Edo. Around that time, most such prints used black ink, sometimes with a few hand-applied tints, because full multicolor printing did not arrive until the 1760s. Woodblock prints were made in quantity and sold cheaply, so they circulated widely among townspeople and later shaped European artists' views of Japan. The record offers little beyond the date and subject, so the specific artist and publisher remain unconfirmed.
