The captivating print titled "Shintokumaru Dancing before Oto Hime" takes us back to 17th century Japan, during the Edo period. Created by the renowned artist Hishikawa Moronobu, this hand-coloured woodblock print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the illustrated book "Collection of Pictures of Beauties (Bijin e-zukushi)". In this double-page illustration, we find ourselves in an audience chamber where Shintokumaru, a male dancer, gracefully performs before Oto Hime and her entourage. The black and white composition is brought to life with delicate hand-tinting techniques that add subtle hints of color. Moronobu's mastery in ukiyo-e art shines through as he skillfully captures the elegance and poise of both Shintokumaru and Oto Hime.

This woodblock print serves as a window into Japanese history and artistic tradition, showcasing the beauty and sophistication that defined society during the Tokugawa period.
