Naga Oban by Toyokuni refers to a format and style of Japanese woodblock prints created by Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769–1825), a prominent artist in the Utagawa school of Japanese woodblock printmaking. The term "Naga Oban" describes a specific size of woodblock print, which is larger and more elongated than the standard oban size, commonly used in the Edo period (1603–1868) for ukiyo-e prints. Utagawa Toyokuni I was renowned for his portraits of kabuki actors, beautiful women, and scenes from Japanese literature and daily life, which he often depicted in the Naga Oban format.

Toyokuni's contribution to the ukiyo-e genre, particularly through his works in the Naga Oban size, was significant in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His innovative use of this format allowed for a more dynamic and detailed portrayal of subjects, offering a new visual experience to the audience of the time. Toyokuni's style is characterized by strong lines, vivid colors, and the expressive portrayal of figures, which had a profound influence on the development of the Utagawa school and ukiyo-e printmaking in general.

As a leading figure in the world of Japanese woodblock printing, Toyokuni's works in the Naga Oban format are highly valued by collectors and scholars for their artistic quality and historical significance. These prints not only serve as a testament to Toyokuni's mastery of the medium but also provide insight into the cultural and societal aspects of the Edo period, making them an important subject of study in the field of Japanese art history.
