Dated 1750 in its record, this Japanese woodblock belongs to the early years of ukiyo-e, the "pictures of the floating world" produced in Edo, now Tokyo. Prints from this period were usually printed in black ink, sometimes with color added by hand, because full multicolor woodblock printing (nishiki-e) did not appear until about 1765. Artists typically portrayed actors, courtesans, teahouse life and scenic views, and the prints were cheap enough for townspeople to collect. The record offers few other details, so the exact artist and subject are best confirmed against the catalog entry.
