Dated to 1750 in its record, this woodblock print belongs to the early decades of ukiyo-e, the "pictures of the floating world" that depicted Edo's theaters, teahouses, and pleasure quarters. Prints from this period were usually made with only a few colors or hand-applied tints, since full-color printing did not arrive until about 1765. The listing calls it a photo print, but the image was cut into wood blocks and inked by hand, so the fine line work and the texture of the paper are better clues to its origins than any photographic detail.
