HASHIGUCHI GOYO. Woman in Summer Clothing

Woman in Summer Clothing. Artist: Hashiguchi Goyo (Japanese, 1881-1921). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 17 3/4 × 11 1/2 in. (45.1 × 29.2 cm). Date: 1920. The woman seated in front of a dressing stand with a blue towel is the artist's lover Nakatani Tsuru. This dazzling modern beauty, closely holding her sheer summer kimono and gazing out at the viewer, is also an homage to Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806). The hairline, splashed patterns (kasuri) on the summer kimono, and rendering of the model's breasts and arms visible through her thin kimono demonstrate Goyo's exceptional skills.
