Prentenboek over gewillige vrouwen - deel drie 1798

This is the cover of a *surimono*, a type of Japanese print created by *ukiyo-e* artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1798. *Surimono* were privately commissioned prints and often featured beautiful women, as in this example, the cover depicts "Prentenboek over gewillige vrouwen - deel drie" (Picture Book of Willing Women - Part Three). They were printed in limited numbers, making them highly sought after collectibles for *ukiyo-e* enthusiasts. The cover features a simple design with a blue background and black calligraphy that gives the title of the book. It is a fascinating example of the artistic skills and unique styles of the *ukiyo-e* printmaking tradition.
