"Outfit for the New Year Ceremony" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Ryūryūkyo Shinsai (1799–1823). The print depicts a figure in a traditional Japanese costume, likely a woman, with a black and white robe. The figure is seated with a teapot and a plate of sweets. The vibrant colors and detailed patterns of the garment showcase Shinsai’s skillful use of woodblock printing techniques. The print is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
