A print depicting a lady of the Kyoho era (1716–1755) — the extended reign period under Shogun Yoshimune that saw significant cultural production alongside the shogunate's fiscal reform efforts. The Kyoho era's feminine fashion represented a sophisticated development of early eighteenth-century Japanese dress, and Chikanobu's historical beauty from this period would be meticulously costumed in the specific garment styles and hairstyle conventions documented in the period's own woodblock prints and paintings.
