This art form of theatrical prints had its origin in the large posters displayed outside the theaters as advertisements of the play. Torii Kiyomasi was a Japanese painter and printmaker of the school known as Torii. The style of painting was ukiyo-e. Kiyomasi is believed to have been active in early 1700s. Ukiyo-e is Japanese for ""picture[ or pictures] of the floating world."".
