Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Ishikawa Toyonobu (1711 - July 1, 1785) was a Japanese ukiyo-e print artist. He is sometimes said to have been the same person as Nishimura Shigenobu...about whom very little is known."--Wikipedia. Note: "Benizuri-e (lit. "crimson printed pictures") are a type of "primitive" ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints.

The production of benizuri-e reached its peak in the early 1740s."--Wikipedia. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Ishikawa Toyonobu, Benizuri-e Lg Size Print c. 1751"
