''Shinpan Bijin Ezukushi'' (新版美人絵づくし), also known as ''Nouveau Recueil De Jolies Femmes'', is a notable work by Hishikawa Moronobu, a prominent Japanese artist credited with pioneering the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints and paintings in the late 17th century. The title translates to "New Selection of Pictures of Beautiful Women" from Japanese and reflects the ukiyo-e tradition of depicting the beauty and lifestyle of courtesans and women of the Edo period (1603–1868).

Moronobu (1618–1694) was active during the early development of ukiyo-e, which literally means "pictures of the floating world," and his work was instrumental in shaping the aesthetics and thematic focus of the genre. Ukiyo-e art often showcased the fleeting pleasures and urban culture of the time, with a particular emphasis on the beauty of women, kabuki actors, and sumo wrestlers, as well as scenes from history and folk tales.

''Shinpan Bijin Ezukushi'' is a collection of woodblock prints that exemplifies Moronobu's skill in capturing the elegance and grace of women in various activities and settings. The work is characterized by its refined line work and use of sumi-e (ink wash painting) techniques, which were hallmarks of Moronobu's style. The prints in this collection would have been highly sought after by the merchant class of Edo Japan, who were the primary audience for ukiyo-e prints.

The collection is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides insight into the fashion, aesthetics, and social customs of Edo-period Japan. Moronobu's attention to detail in the depiction of textiles, hairstyles, and interior design offers a rich visual record of the period's material culture.

As an early example of ukiyo-e, ''Shinpan Bijin Ezukushi'' also holds an important place in the history of Japanese art, representing the evolution of woodblock printing techniques and the emergence of a genre that would later gain immense popularity and influence artists around the world, including the Impressionists in Europe.

Today, ''Shinpan Bijin Ezukushi'' is studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its contribution to the development of Japanese art and its role in the cultural exchange between Japan and the West during the Meiji period (1868–1912) and beyond. The work is preserved in various art institutions and private collections, and it continues to be appreciated for its beauty and historical significance.
