"Drie courtisanes uit het Tamaya huis" (Three Courtesans from the Tamaya House) is a woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni (II) created around 1828. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a single courtesan in elaborate clothing and hair ornaments against a backdrop of a traditional Japanese room. The print exemplifies the ukiyo-e style, popular in Edo-period Japan, that depicted everyday life, popular theater, and beautiful women. The detailed portrayal of the courtesan's clothing and the setting captures the beauty and sophistication of this period.
