Dated 1750, this print comes from the Edo period, when ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," were made in Japan's cities for a broad urban audience. Although the catalog calls it a photo print, ukiyo-e are woodblock prints: an artist's design was carved into wooden blocks, usually one for each color, and pressed onto paper by hand. Subjects often included actors, courtesans, and scenes from everyday city life, and the prints were inexpensive enough to circulate widely. Collectors today value them for their fine line work and for the glimpse they offer of Edo-period life.
