Recorded here as a Japanese ukiyo-e print dated 1750, this piece belongs to a woodblock tradition whose name means "pictures of the floating world." In the mid-eighteenth century, such prints were made by carving an image into wooden blocks and pressing them onto paper, usually with only a few colors, since full-color printing did not become common until the 1760s. The record also calls it a photo print, a label that does not fit a woodblock work, so the date and medium are best read with some caution. Ukiyo-e subjects ranged from actors and beautiful women to landscapes and scenes of city life.
