"Boy's First Visit To A Tutelary Shrine" is a notable work by Hishikawa Moronobu, a prominent Japanese artist of the Edo period. Hishikawa Moronobu (1618-1694) is often credited as the founding father of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints and paintings that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," typically depicts scenes of kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, beautiful women, landscapes, and scenes from history and folklore.

"Boy's First Visit To A Tutelary Shrine" captures a significant cultural and religious event in Japan, known as "hatsumode," which refers to the first shrine visit of the New Year. This tradition is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, symbolizing the beginning of a new year and the seeking of blessings for health, happiness, and prosperity. The artwork portrays a young boy, likely accompanied by family members, visiting a tutelary shrine, which is a local Shinto shrine dedicated to the protection and well-being of the community.

Hishikawa's work is characterized by its delicate lines, intricate details, and the ability to convey a narrative through visual means. His depiction of the boy's first shrine visit not only highlights the importance of this cultural practice but also reflects the artist's keen observation of everyday life and customs in Edo-period Japan. The composition, use of color, and attention to detail in the clothing and surroundings provide a glimpse into the period's aesthetic and social values.

As with many of Hishikawa's works, "Boy's First Visit To A Tutelary Shrine" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, offering insights into the rituals and traditions that have shaped Japanese culture. The piece remains an important example of early ukiyo-e and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
