Description

This item is a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print triptych, comprising three vertically oriented panels, each depicting a distinct genre scene. Rendered in multiple colors on paper, the prints feature figures in traditional attire within varied settings: the left panel shows a robed individual and two women by a body of water with boats and a tall inscribed stone marker; the middle panel portrays several women engaged in artistic and scholarly activities outdoors; and the right panel depicts women on a veranda at night, under a full moon, with a decorative lantern. Each panel prominently displays multiple Japanese text cartouches—including oval and rectangular forms—alongside small red seals, likely indicating titles, poetry, or artist/publisher marks.
