"Dancing at the New Carlton Hotel in Shanghai" is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Yamamura Toyonari, also known as Yamamura Kōka (1885–1942). Toyonari was an influential figure in the shin-hanga movement, which sought to revitalize the traditional ukiyo-e art form by integrating Western styles and techniques. The print, which dates from the early 20th century, captures a scene of social life during a period when Shanghai was known as the "Paris of the East" and was renowned for its vibrant international community and cosmopolitan nightlife.

The artwork depicts a couple dancing in the luxurious setting of the New Carlton Hotel, one of Shanghai's most prestigious establishments at the time. The dancers are elegantly dressed, reflecting the fashion and sophistication of the era's upper class. Toyonari's work is characterized by its blend of Japanese craftsmanship and Western realism, which is evident in the detailed rendering of the figures and the atmospheric use of light and shadow in the composition.

"Dancing at the New Carlton Hotel in Shanghai" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides a visual representation of the cultural exchanges between East and West during the interwar period. The print is a testament to the international character of Shanghai in the early 20th century and serves as a cultural artifact of a bygone era.

As a shin-hanga artist, Toyonari was part of a movement that aimed to revive the declining ukiyo-e tradition by catering to both domestic and foreign markets, producing prints that often featured landscapes, beautiful women (bijin-ga), and scenes of contemporary life. "Dancing at the New Carlton Hotel in Shanghai" exemplifies the shin-hanga fascination with modernity and internationalism, making it an important work in Toyonari's oeuvre and a valuable piece for collectors and scholars interested in this period of art history.
