The Namiki Nippon Art The 3 Beauties Ukiyo-e Okita Naniwaya fountain pen represents 3 beauties among the most popular in Japan during the Kansei Era (1789–1801). These illustrations gained popularity through the exceptional series of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings by Utamaro Kitagawa. The pink tones in each model highlight their innocence and elegance. Ukiyo-e, or "Floating World Image," represents a Japanese artistic movement from the Edo period (1603-1868) that encompasses not only original popular and narrative painting but also, and especially, all Japanese woodblock prints.
