"Historical Legends of Kagoshima" (鹿児島歴史伝説図絵) is a series of ukiyo-e prints created by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847–1915). Kiyochika, known for his blend of traditional Japanese and Western painting techniques, produced these works during the Meiji period, a time of rapid modernization and Westernization in Japan. The series is notable for its depiction of historical events and folklore associated with the Kagoshima region, located on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan.

Kobayashi Kiyochika is often remembered for his landscapes and for capturing the transformation of Tokyo in the late 19th century. However, in "Historical Legends of Kagoshima," he turns his attention to the rich history and myths of Kagoshima, offering a visual narrative that reflects the cultural identity and past of the area. The prints may include scenes of famous battles, local heroes, and legendary figures, rendered with Kiyochika's characteristic attention to light and shadow, which was influenced by Western art and photography.

The series is an example of Kiyochika's broader interest in history and storytelling through art. While he is more commonly associated with scenes of modernization and the effects of light, "Historical Legends of Kagoshima" showcases his versatility and his ability to engage with traditional subject matter. The prints serve not only as artistic expressions but also as historical documents that provide insights into the cultural heritage of Kagoshima and the values of the Meiji-era society.

As with many ukiyo-e series, the individual prints within "Historical Legends of Kagoshima" would have been sold separately or as a set, allowing collectors to appreciate both the singular beauty of each piece and the collective narrative they form. Today, these works are valuable for scholars studying the Meiji period, ukiyo-e art, and the regional histories of Japan. They are also appreciated by art enthusiasts for their aesthetic qualities and the window they offer into a pivotal time in Japanese history.
