The record gives a date of 1750 and calls this a Japanese ukiyo-e print, but it names no subject, artist or sheet size, and the "photo print" label cannot be right for that year, since photography did not yet exist. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," were woodblock prints made in Edo-period Japan that showed actors, courtesans, landscapes and city life. Hishikawa Moronobu helped establish the form in the late 1600s, and the multicolor prints that became famous appeared later in the eighteenth century. Prints of this kind were issued in editions for a broad urban public, which is why many have survived in varying condition.
