Tomimoto Toyohina, Takashimaya Ohisa, and Naniwaya Okita is a 1794 by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows three women sitting close together, their faces turned toward each other. Their hair is styled in tall, elaborate buns with combs sticking out. One holds a fan, another has a red cloth in her lap, and all wear simple robes with dark sleeves. The background is plain, keeping the focus on their expressions and hair. The artist used bold black outlines to define shapes, with soft shading for skin and fabric. The women’s calm faces and close grouping create a quiet, intimate scene. Look up Kitagawa Utamaro to see more of his work on Japanese woodblock prints.
