This entry is the second in a numbered set, and its record dates it to 1750, in the middle of Japan's Edo period. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," were woodblock prints made for townspeople, often showing actors, beauties, travel scenes, and city life. The record calls it a photo print, which suggests it may be a photographic copy or later reproduction of an original woodblock, so the paper, ink, and printing details are worth checking against the source. Because the record gives no further detail about its subject or maker, the print is best understood within that broader tradition.
