"Yama-Uba and Kintoki" is a renowned woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, a prominent Japanese artist known for his exquisite ukiyo-e style works. Created during the Edo period, this piece is part of Utamaro's broader oeuvre that focuses on female beauty, nature, and folklore. The artwork depicts the legendary Yama-Uba, a mountain witch from Japanese folklore, alongside Kintoki, also known as Kintarō, a child of superhuman strength who was raised by Yama-Uba in the wild.

Utamaro's portrayal of Yama-Uba and Kintoki is notable for its delicate and sensitive rendering, diverging from the often grotesque depictions of Yama-Uba in other artworks. Instead, Utamaro presents her in a more nurturing and affectionate light, emphasizing the maternal aspects of her character as she interacts with Kintoki. This reflects a common theme in Utamaro's work: the exploration of the diverse facets of female beauty and strength.

The print is characterized by Utamaro's masterful use of line and color, which brings out the textures of the subjects' clothing and the natural surroundings. His attention to detail and the emotional depth he imbues in his subjects are hallmarks of his style, making "Yama-Uba and Kintoki" a quintessential example of Utamaro's artistry and his contribution to the ukiyo-e genre.

"Yama-Uba and Kintoki" not only showcases Utamaro's skill as an artist but also serves as a cultural artifact, offering insights into the Edo period's folklore, societal norms, and aesthetic values. It remains a significant work in the study of Japanese art and folklore, celebrated for its artistic beauty and the rich cultural narratives it encapsulates.
