"Moral Teaching for Shopboys Giving Good and Bad Examples of Behavior 3" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). This work is part of a series that illustrates the consequences of virtuous and vice-ridden behavior, aimed at educating young apprentices and shop assistants in the merchant classes of Edo-period Japan. Kuniyoshi, known for his imaginative and often humorous depictions of samurai, mythical animals, and landscapes, also produced works with didactic themes, reflecting the moral values of the time.

The print, like others in the series, juxtaposes scenes of good and bad behavior, serving as a visual guide for young men navigating the complexities of ethical conduct in their personal and professional lives. The 'good' examples typically depict individuals demonstrating diligence, honesty, and respect for their elders and customers, which were highly regarded traits in the merchant culture of the time. Conversely, the 'bad' examples show the consequences of laziness, deceit, and disrespect—vices that could lead to personal and professional ruin.

Kuniyoshi's artistry in these prints extends beyond mere moral instruction; his use of vivid colors, intricate patterns, and dynamic compositions reflects the aesthetic qualities that have made ukiyo-e a celebrated art form. The "Moral Teaching for Shopboys" series offers a window into the societal expectations of Edo Japan while showcasing Kuniyoshi's skill in conveying narrative and character through visual art.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Moral Teaching for Shopboys Giving Good and Bad Examples of Behavior 3" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, carvers, printers, and publishers. The prints were widely circulated and affordable, making them an accessible medium for public education and entertainment. Today, they are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance as documents of Japanese culture and morality during the Tokugawa shogunate.
