"Beauties of the three pleasure quarters in the eastern capital Snow, Moon and Flower" is a notable woodblock print series by Utagawa Kuninao, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the early 19th century. Kuninao, a student of the renowned Utagawa Toyokuni, is celebrated for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, particularly in the depiction of bijin-ga, or beautiful women. This series, created during the Edo period, exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the elegance and allure of courtesans from the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

The title "Snow, Moon and Flower" refers to a traditional Japanese aesthetic concept known as "setsugekka," which symbolizes the beauty of nature through the changing seasons. In this context, it is used metaphorically to highlight the timeless and ephemeral beauty of the women portrayed in the series. Each print in the series features courtesans from three of Edo's most famous pleasure districts: Yoshiwara, Shin-Yoshiwara, and Fukagawa. These districts were well-known for their sophisticated entertainment and the high status of their courtesans, who were often celebrated for their cultural refinement and artistic talents.

Kuninao's work is distinguished by its delicate line work, intricate patterns, and vibrant colors, which bring to life the luxurious kimonos and elaborate hairstyles of the courtesans. The prints not only serve as a testament to the artist's technical prowess but also provide a glimpse into the fashion, social structures, and cultural practices of the Edo period. Through his portrayal of these women, Kuninao captures the grace and poise that were highly valued in the pleasure quarters, offering a nuanced perspective on the lives of these celebrated figures.

"Beauties of the three pleasure quarters in the eastern capital Snow, Moon and Flower" remains an important work within the ukiyo-e tradition, reflecting both the artistic innovation of Utagawa Kuninao and the rich cultural tapestry of Edo-era Japan.
