"Shinshibari" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806). Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Utamaro's extensive body of work that focuses on bijinga, or pictures of beautiful women. Utamaro is celebrated for his ability to capture the subtleties of female beauty and expression, and "Shinshibari" is no exception. The title of the piece, which translates to "New Binding," may refer to the intricate and fashionable methods of tying the obi (a sash worn with traditional Japanese clothing) that were popular among women of the time.

In "Shinshibari," Utamaro depicts a woman, likely a courtesan or a fashionable city dweller, in a moment of daily life. The print showcases Utamaro's skillful use of line and his attention to patterns and textures, which bring out the luxurious quality of the woman's garments and the elegance of her posture. The artwork is characterized by the graceful curves and the delicate features of the subject, hallmarks of Utamaro's style.

As with many of Utamaro's prints, "Shinshibari" is not only a work of art but also a document of the cultural and social practices of the Edo period. It provides insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the time, as well as the roles and perceptions of women in Japanese society. The print is a testament to Utamaro's mastery of the ukiyo-e genre and his influence on the portrayal of women in Japanese art.

"Shinshibari" is part of the collections of several art museums and institutions around the world, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As with many ukiyo-e prints, it has been reproduced and studied extensively, contributing to the enduring legacy of Kitagawa Utamaro as one of the most important figures in Japanese art history.
