"Oban Tate-e: Hime Dochu Kago Mae No Zu" is a notable woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). Utamaro was a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese art, which flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868). His works are characterized by their delicate and expressive portrayals of women, and "Oban Tate-e: Hime Dochu Kago Mae No Zu" is no exception.

The title of the piece can be translated as "Princess's Procession Before the Palanquin," and it is a fine example of Utamaro's mastery in depicting the grace and elegance of female subjects. The term "oban tate-e" refers to the size and orientation of the print; "oban" is a standard size of Japanese woodblock print, while "tate-e" indicates that the image is vertical (portrait orientation).

This particular print is part of a larger series that captures the lives and activities of women in various social strata during the Edo period. In "Hime Dochu Kago Mae No Zu," Utamaro illustrates a scene of a noblewoman's procession, providing a glimpse into the customs and fashions of the time. The princess is depicted with an air of refined beauty and poise, which is a hallmark of Utamaro's style.

The composition of the print is carefully constructed, with attention to the flow of lines and the arrangement of figures, creating a sense of movement and depth. The use of color is subtle yet effective, highlighting the intricate patterns of the garments and the soft features of the figures.

As with many of Utamaro's works, "Oban Tate-e: Hime Dochu Kago Mae No Zu" reflects the artist's keen observation of the world around him and his ability to convey the essence of his subjects with sensitivity and sophistication. The print remains an important piece within the canon of ukiyo-e art and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
