Dated 1750, this piece belongs to the early decades of ukiyo-e, the "pictures of the floating world" that Edo-period artists produced for townspeople in cities such as Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto. Full-color printing did not arrive until the mid-1760s, so prints from this date were usually black ink on paper, sometimes with color added by hand. The title calls it a photo print, but the subject heading points to a woodblock print, so the medium is worth checking. Subjects of the period often included actors, courtesans, landscapes and scenes of everyday city life.
