Nakatani Tsura Sitting Before the Dressing Stand

Artwork · Goyō Hashiguchi · 1920 · Japanese woodblock print

One of the best works of Goyō Hashiguchi (1880–1921), who designed shin-hanga for the publisher Shōzaburō Watanabe and then set up his own shop in 1918, following Utamaro: against a silvery mica ground the model sits in a gossamer black kimono with a gold wedding ring — cool, pensive, set apart in her private world. 1 Mason 2005, pp. 384–385, fig. 458. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E.
