Dated to 1750 in its record, this Japanese ukiyo-e print comes from the early decades of the form, when woodblock printing in Edo was still developing its popular style. Ukiyo-e, which translates roughly as "pictures of the floating world," portrayed actors, courtesans, city life and landscapes, and each print was made by a team of designers, carvers and printers. Prints from around this date usually use only a few colors, because full multicolor printing did not become common until the 1760s. The record gives no artist or subject, so the image itself is the best guide to its details.
