A museum-grade Japanese shin-hanga woodblock print in the exact style of Itō Shinsui & takato yamamoto, depicting a bijin-ga subject in a quiet, intimate moment. A Maiko Girl by softly hushed by the muted, introspective glow of twilight, in three-quarter profile gently combs her long, flowing black hair. Her head tilts downward slightly, eyes lowered in calm introspection. The hair is rendered with extreme precision—dense, glossy, and flowing in thick strands—occupying a large portion of the composition. She wears a highly detailed elaborate brilliant blue kimono with repeating white floral patterns, flat and decorative, contrasting with the organic movement of the hair. Her skin is pale and smooth, softly shaded with subtle bokashi gradation. Facial features are minimal and refined: narrow eyes, delicate brows, soft lips. The background is empty and pale, with no architectural or narrative elements, emphasizing privacy and stillness. Linework is extraordinarily fine, colour application restrained and elegant. No dramatic gesture, no erotic exaggeration—only quiet beauty, realism, and psychological depth. Strict shin-hanga woodblock aesthetics: – flat colour planes – crisp carved outlines – visible washi paper texture – subdued, harmonious palette – no modern realism, no digital effects The image must read instantly as a Taishō-era Hashiguchi Goyō bijin-ga masterpiece.
A traditional Japanese woodblock print by Hashiguchi Goyo, titled "Woman Combing Her Hair," depicts a young Japanese woman from the waist up, with fair skin and a delicate, serene expression. She wears a vibrant blue kimono adorned with intricate white floral patterns. Her strikingly long, jet-black hair cascades down her left side, partially obscuring her form, while her right hand gently gathers a section of her hair. Her head is tilted slightly down and to the left, as she gazes modestly in the same direction, with her dark eyes subtly visible through her hair. The backdrop is a simple, light beige, textured surface, typical of a relief print. The overall aesthetic is one of elegant repose and traditional Japanese beauty.
