This woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunchō, titled *Toei Hill (Toeizan)*, is part of his series "Five Hills of Edo (Koto no gozan)". The print depicts three figures in a landscape, possibly in Edo (present-day Tokyo). The figures are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with a cherry blossom tree in the background. Shunchō was an artist of the late Edo period, active in the 1790s, known for his depictions of beautiful women and landscapes. This print, created in the 1780s, is a charming example of his work, capturing the beauty of the natural world and the social life of Edo.
