"Three Shunga Prints by Torii Kiyonobu I" refers to a set of Japanese erotic art prints (shunga) created by Torii Kiyonobu I (1664–1729), who was a prominent ukiyo-e artist and the founder of the Torii school. Shunga, which literally means "spring pictures," is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints that celebrates human sexuality. Kiyonobu's work in this genre is characterized by its bold lines and dynamic compositions, which were influential in the development of ukiyo-e, particularly kabuki actor prints.

The three prints by Kiyonobu are representative of the shunga art form during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, a period when it was both widely produced and enjoyed by all social classes in Japan. Shunga prints often depicted the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), courtesans, and scenes of sexual intimacy with a level of detail and artistry that was not just intended for titillation but also as a form of entertainment, humor, and even as talismans for good luck and fertility.

Kiyonobu's style is noted for its vigor and the use of strong outlines, reflecting the influence of kabuki theater, with which he was closely associated. His work in shunga also demonstrates a blend of realism and idealization, with attention to textile patterns and the physical beauty of the figures. The three prints would typically feature heterosexual couples engaged in intimate acts, showcasing the artist's skill in depicting the human form and the intricacies of interpersonal relationships.

As with many shunga works, the prints by Kiyonobu were not signed, as the production of erotic art was often done anonymously due to the shogunate's periodic crackdowns on the genre. Despite this, shunga was an important part of ukiyo-e and contributed to the development of the artistic techniques and themes that would be seen in non-erotic prints.

The "Three Shunga Prints by Torii Kiyonobu I" are significant examples of the artist's oeuvre and the shunga tradition. They provide insight into the cultural and artistic practices of the Edo period, as well as the societal attitudes towards sexuality and art. As historical artifacts, they offer a window into the past, allowing contemporary audiences to understand the complexities and aesthetics of early modern Japanese erotic art.
