"Shikishiban Surimono of A Court Lady Seated At A Writing Desk Beside A Cabinet Filled With Books And Scrolls" is a Japanese woodblock print (surimono) by the artist Yashima Gakutei, active during the late Edo period. Surimono are a genre of Japanese woodblock prints that were privately commissioned for special occasions and often featured poetic inscriptions. They are known for their high quality, lavish use of metallic pigments and embossing, and were typically produced in limited numbers for a select audience of literati and connoisseurs.

This particular surimono by Gakutei depicts an elegantly dressed court lady in a moment of literary pursuit, seated at a writing desk with a brush in hand, suggesting the cultural refinement and artistic pursuits of the Heian period (794-1185), an era renowned for its poetry and literature. The cabinet filled with books and scrolls not only serves as an indicator of the lady's erudition but also reflects the Japanese appreciation for scholarly endeavors and the aesthetic integration of literature and visual arts.

Gakutei's work is characterized by its delicate lines, attention to detail, and the integration of text and image. The shikishiban format refers to a nearly square size of paper, which was commonly used for surimono prints. This format lends itself well to the intimate and detailed representation seen in Gakutei's print, allowing the viewer to appreciate the intricate patterns of the lady's kimono, the textures of the writing materials, and the contents of the cabinet.

As a piece of the surimono tradition, Gakutei's print is an important example of the cultural and artistic practices of the Edo period, reflecting the interplay between visual art, poetry, and the social customs of the time. The work is significant for its artistic merit as well as for its contribution to the understanding of the historical context in which it was created.
