This woodblock print, titled "Three Women Arranging Flowers", was created by the Japanese artist Chōki circa 1806. The artwork depicts three women in traditional Japanese clothing, gracefully arranging flowers in a room. The print showcases the beauty of the Japanese aesthetic through its delicate details, such as the intricate patterns of the women's garments and the carefully arranged flowers. The scene is set in a domestic space, conveying a sense of tranquility and refinement, characteristic of the genre of ukiyo-e, which often depicted scenes of everyday life in Edo-era Japan.
