The captivating print "Girls of Fukagawa - A Triptych" by Torii Kiyohiro, created in the Edo period around 1755, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the vibrant world of traditional Japanese culture. This uncut hosoban triptych benizuri e showcases three young women from Fukagawa, each exquisitely dressed in colorful kimonos and accessorized with intricate details that reflect their refined taste. In this artwork, we witness the meticulous craftsmanship of woodblock printing as every brushstroke and delicate line comes to life. The attention to detail is evident in the depiction of their elegant hairstyles adorned with ornamental hairpins and flowers. The girls' footwear also catches our eye; they wear geta sandals elevated on platform shoes called pattens, which were popular during the Tokugawa period.

Torii Kiyohiro's artistic prowess shines through as he captures the essence of femininity and beauty within this triptych. Through his skillful use of color and composition, he invites us to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also gain insights into Japan's rich heritage. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Kiyohiro's contribution to ukiyo-e art while offering
