This drawing is tied to a specific place and theme: a drawbridge in Tokyo, shown alongside foreign visitors, according to the subject headings. The catalog record dates the work to 1750, but it credits Isoda Koryūsai, who was active from 1764 to 1788, and the subject dates fall between 1850 and 1900, so the dates conflict and should be read with caution. Koryūsai worked in Edo, the city now called Tokyo, and was known for woodblock prints and paintings of its townspeople and scenery. The drawing belongs to the David Murray Collection at the Library of Congress, which preserves a broad range of Japanese graphic art.
