What sets this piece apart on the board is its early date in the record, 1750, which places it in the first half of the eighteenth century, when ukiyo-e was still mostly printed in black ink with some hand coloring. The term means "pictures of the floating world," and the genre grew out of the pleasure quarters and theaters of Edo, now Tokyo, where artists portrayed actors, courtesans, landscapes, and everyday life. Full-color printing, called nishiki-e, did not become common until the 1760s, so prints from this earlier period are of particular interest to collectors. The record does not name an artist or publisher, so the specific maker remains unknown.
