The record identifies this as a Japanese ukiyo-e print dated 1750, which places it in the middle of the Edo period, when Japan's commercial towns produced popular images of actors, courtesans and city life. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," were made by carving a design into woodblocks, usually one block for each color, so each finished sheet reflects several separate stages of cutting and printing. Many were cheap and sold in quantity, which is part of why early examples are now scarce and prized. The record does not name a maker or a specific scene, so the subject is best read from the image itself.
