Dated 1750, this print comes from the early years of ukiyo-e, the Japanese woodblock tradition that showed actors, courtesans, and scenes of city life during the Edo period. Prints from this era were usually made with only a few colors, often added by hand or printed from limited blocks, because the full-color nishiki-e technique did not appear until the 1760s. Publishers in Edo sold these sheets cheaply, which helped spread images of popular theater and fashion among ordinary townspeople. Today the piece is worth studying for how the medium looked before its later color refinements.
