Surimono by Ryuryukyo Shinsai refers to a specialized genre of Japanese woodblock prints that were created by the artist Ryuryukyo Shinsai, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Surimono, meaning "printed thing" in Japanese, were privately commissioned prints that combined the arts of poetry and image, often produced for special occasions, literary gatherings, or as New Year's greetings. Unlike the more commercially produced ukiyo-e prints of the time, surimono were luxury items, printed in limited editions and featuring high-quality paper, intricate detail, and the use of multiple, sometimes expensive, pigments. They frequently included kyōka, whimsical thirty-one syllable poems, which added layers of meaning to the images depicted.

Ryuryukyo Shinsai was a prominent artist in the surimono genre, known for his delicate and refined style. His works often featured subjects from nature, literature, and kabuki theatre, reflecting the cultured interests of the literati class who commissioned his prints. Shinsai's contribution to the surimono genre is significant, as his innovative compositions and skillful integration of text and image helped elevate the artistic and cultural value of these prints. His works are celebrated for their technical excellence and aesthetic qualities, making them highly valued among collectors and scholars of Japanese art.

As surimono were not widely circulated and were often kept within private circles, they provide a unique insight into the cultural and social practices of Edo-period Japan (1603-1868). Ryuryukyo Shinsai's surimono, in particular, are important artifacts that reflect the sophisticated tastes and intellectual pursuits of the period's urban elite. Through his work, Shinsai contributed to the development of Japanese printmaking and the broader visual culture of his time.
