Dated 1750 in its record, this piece belongs to the early history of Japanese woodblock printing, which the gallery files under fine prints. Ukiyo-e, meaning "pictures of the floating world," grew out of the pleasure quarters and theaters of Edo, where publishers sold inexpensive images of actors, courtesans, and city life. Around this time prints were usually made in only a few colors, with the full multicolor technique arriving in the 1760s. The record calls it a photo print, but the image's character points to carved woodblocks rather than photography.
