Description: The full title of this very famous nishiki-e print by Utamaro is "Three Beauties of the Present Day" (Tōji San Bijin), but it is also known as "Three Beauties of the Kansei Era" (Kansei San Bijin). The print depicts three celebrity beauties of the time: geisha Tomimoto Toyohina, and teahouse waitresses Naniwaya Kita and Takashima Hisa.

This version was produced by the Takamizawa company in (probably) the 70~80s.

There is a slight crease at the lower left edge.
