Although it is catalogued as a photo print, this record describes a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print, made by carving and inking blocks rather than with a camera. Dated to 1750, it falls in the Edo period, when publishers in Edo and Kyoto sold affordable prints of actors, courtesans and city life, a world known as the floating world. Before the full-color prints of the 1760s, such sheets were usually printed in black ink and sometimes colored by hand. The record names no artist or subject, so it is best read as an example of the popular print trade of its era.
