These three prints are the oldest in my collection and although they are not
among my favorites, I have included them in the gallery to show the
sharpness of detail and brilliance of color even in such early prints.

All three are by the artist, Toyokuni (1769-1825) and are examples of the
"ukiyo-e" school. The first print is of a lady tugging at the sleeve of her
young man, asking him to listen to a poem she has written and the
next two prints depict popular kabuki actors of the day.
