"Fashionable Methods of Seduction" (流行色ゑの手引, Ryūkō iroe no tebiki) is a Japanese woodblock print series created by Katsukawa Shuncho, an artist active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Shuncho was known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and was associated with the Katsukawa school, which specialized in ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868).

The series "Fashionable Methods of Seduction" exemplifies the ukiyo-e tradition's focus on the urban lifestyle and pleasures of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). It depicts elegantly dressed women, often courtesans or geisha, in various scenes that suggest romantic or seductive encounters. The prints are characterized by their delicate lines, subtle use of color, and the intricate patterns of the subjects' kimonos.

As with many ukiyo-e series, "Fashionable Methods of Seduction" would have been sold as individual sheets or as a set, catering to the tastes of the merchant class who had the means to purchase such luxury items. The prints would have served as both fashionable decorations and as reflections of the popular culture and societal norms of the time.

Shuncho's work is noted for its refinement and the beauty of his female figures, and "Fashionable Methods of Seduction" is a prime example of his mastery in portraying the idealized beauty and fashion of the Edo period. The series contributes to the understanding of the role of women in ukiyo-e and provides insight into the cultural and artistic values of the time.

Today, prints from "Fashionable Methods of Seduction" are held in various art collections around the world and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and cultural significance. They offer a window into the world of Edo Japan and are appreciated not only for their historical value but also for their aesthetic qualities and the skillful artistry of Katsukawa Shuncho.
