Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print Set of Three

Utagawa Hiroshige's "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital: Sudden Shower over Nihonbashi" depicts people hurriedly crossing the bridge in a sudden rain. Toshusai Sharaku's "The Actor Sakata Hangoro III as Fujikawa Mizuemon" features a subtly glowing mica background, while Kitagawa Utamaro's bijin-ga "Woman Reading a Letter" showcases beauty.

This is a collection set of traditional woodblock prints, consisting of three works produced by the printer Yamada Kozaburo, each bearing Yamada Kozaburo's signature. The yakusha-e and bijin-ga have spots, while Hiroshige's work shows no obvious spots.
