"History of Kamakura" is a woodblock print created in the 19th century by the artist Kubo Shunman (1757-1820). The print depicts a woman in elaborate clothing, likely a noblewoman, standing on a beach with a dragon emerging from a rocky cliff behind her. The woman appears to be looking at the dragon with a mixture of fear and fascination. The print is a fine example of the ukiyo-e style, which was popular in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). Ukiyo-e prints often featured scenes from everyday life, as well as mythological and historical subjects, which makes the "History of Kamakura" print a combination of both, and it is considered a beautiful and complex work of art.
