Listed as a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print dated 1750, this piece falls in the Edo period, when artists in Edo and Kyoto produced cheap, mass-run prints of city life, actors, and courtesans. The term ukiyo-e means "pictures of the floating world," and many surviving impressions are worn or faded because they were meant for everyday use rather than preservation. Prints from around 1750 generally used only a few colors, since full-color printing (nishiki-e) did not arrive until about 1765. The record names no artist, publisher, or subject, so those details remain unconfirmed.
