"Playing Shuttlecocks at Ryogoku" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806), who was prominent during the Edo period. This artwork is part of Utamaro's oeuvre that primarily focuses on bijinga (pictures of beautiful women). The print depicts a lively scene of women engaging in the game of hanetsuki, which is similar to badminton and was traditionally played during the New Year festivities in Japan. The setting is Ryogoku, one of the well-known pleasure districts in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), recognized for its vibrant cultural activities and gatherings.

Utamaro's mastery in portraying the subtleties of human expressions and the intricate details of clothing and accessories is evident in this work. The print is characterized by its dynamic composition and the use of vivid colors that capture the festive atmosphere of the scene. "Playing Shuttlecocks at Ryogoku" not only exemplifies Utamaro's skill in depicting the grace and beauty of women but also provides a glimpse into the recreational activities of the Edo period, reflecting the customs and social life of the time. This piece remains an important work in the study of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, offering insights into the cultural and historical context of Japan during Utamaro's lifetime.
