The record dates this print to 1750, which places it early in the Edo period, before full-color printing became common. Ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," were woodblock prints showing actors, courtesans, landscapes, and scenes of city life, and they circulated widely among townspeople in Edo, now Tokyo. Prints from this early stage were often made with fewer colors, so viewers today tend to focus on the line work and the paper. The record gives no details about this print's maker or original purpose.
