Little in this record identifies the particular scene, so the most useful starting point is the date. A print labeled 1750 would come from the middle of Japan's Edo period, when woodblock printing in cities like Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto was producing inexpensive images of actors, courtesans, landscapes, and everyday life. Full-color printing did not arrive until about 1765, so an image from this date would more likely show a limited palette, such as hand-applied color or a few block colors. Those restrained tones are worth noticing when comparing it with the later polychrome prints most people associate with ukiyo-e.
