"A Modern Prince Genji at Chigogafuchi, Enoshima" is a woodblock print created in 1864 by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892). The print depicts a scene from the classic Japanese novel "The Tale of Genji," set against the dramatic backdrop of Enoshima Island. The print features a group of figures, including the protagonist Genji and his love interest, amidst crashing waves and lush vegetation. Yoshitoshi's masterful use of color and detail bring the story to life, capturing the beauty and intensity of the scene, typical of his work in the *ukiyo-e* style of woodblock prints. The print is a testament to Yoshitoshi's skill in capturing the spirit of traditional Japanese literature through the medium of printmaking.
