"Tokimune (Soga Goro) Sneaking into Yoritomo's Residence" is a woodblock print from 1891 by Japanese artist Migita Toshihide. It depicts a dramatic scene from a famous Japanese historical tale. Tokimune, a member of the Soga clan, is shown sneaking into Yoritomo's residence in a cloak, while Yoritomo hides in a room with a sliding door. The use of bold colors and dynamic composition convey the sense of tension and intrigue in the scene. This print is an example of "ukiyo-e," a genre of Japanese art known for its detailed depiction of everyday life, historical events, and popular figures. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this piece.
