Three c. 1865

"Three" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Toyohara Kunichika, created around 1865. The print, in the style of *ukiyo-e*, depicts a single figure, a young woman dressed in elaborate robes, standing in front of a checkered background. Kunichika was known for his depiction of kabuki actors and other popular figures, and this print showcases his masterful use of color and detail. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns create a striking visual that brings the subject to life. *Ukiyo-e*, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," is a genre of Japanese art that flourished in the Edo period, and Kunichika’s print is a prime example of this artistic tradition.
