Dated 1750 in its record, this woodblock print comes from the middle of Japan's Edo period, when ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," served a growing urban audience in cities like Edo, now Tokyo. Artists designed images that were carved into blocks and printed in multiples, which made them far cheaper than paintings and let scenes of actors, beauties and landscapes circulate widely. Full-color printing did not become common until the 1760s, so a print from around 1750 would more typically show a limited palette, so its line work and pigments are worth examining closely. The record does not name the artist or subject, so its origin is still open to research.
