| DATE | ca. 1750 |
| AUTHOR | Suzuki Harunobu (1725 - 1770) Japan |
| MEDIA | Woodblock print on paper |
| SIZE | Unknown |
| LOCATION | U.K. - London - Victoria & Albert Museum |
| NOTES | The most important innovation in the creation of nishiki-e (brocade pictures) was the ability of Harunobu, again due to the wealth of his clients, to use as many separate blocks as he wished for a single image; Harunobu was the first ukiyo-e artist to consistently use more than three colors in each print. Nishiki-e, unlike their predecessors, were full-color images.
