Tripytych of Young Men 1691 - 1768

"Tripytych of Young Men" is a woodblock print by Okumura Masanobu (1686–1764) created between 1691 and 1768. The print depicts three women, one holding an umbrella, standing in an outdoor setting with a traditional Japanese house behind them. This print is part of the ukiyo-e genre, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." The genre emerged in Japan in the 17th century and often featured scenes of everyday life, including landscapes, actors, and courtesans. It was one of the first forms of Japanese art that achieved widespread popularity. Masanobu is considered one of the founders of ukiyo-e.
