    description: <div class="description"> The print illustrates the typical interior of a Kabuki theater. The stage was connected to the audience by the <em>hanamichi</em>, the ramp or runway extending from the stage to the rear of the theater over which the actors would strut in dramatic roles. Patrons often stayed all day for the plays. Unlike quiet Western audiences, Kabuki fans were spirited, buying food from vendors and even shouting praises to their favorite actors as they came onto the stage. In 1734, the first Japanese manual on perspective was printed. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">masanobu</u> was probably the first printmaker to use this method of describing three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional support. He helped popularize the perspective print, and he introduced other innovations such as two-color printing and hand-coloring—this print is hand-colored using yellow, red (tan), and red-brown.</div>

    description: <div class="description"> This double-page book illustration is called a <em>sumizuri</em> (meaning to print with sumi ink on paper). It may be an adaptation of a picture book by Kiyonobu I titled <em>Keisei ehon</em>, or Illustrated Book of Courtesans, portraying the most glamorous people in the ukiyo-e world. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">masanobu</u> had the greatest influence on the development of the ukiyo-e style during the first half of the 1700s. A publisher, print designer, and painter, he initiated new genres of prints such as the "perspective picture" (<em>uki-e</em>).</div>
