Original Description
Goyo Hashiguchi’s Kesho No Onna (Woman Applying Make-up) (1920) is a captivating shin-hanga woodblock print that masterfully blends traditional ukiyo-e elegance with modern sensibility. The composition depicts a young woman in an intimate moment, delicately applying makeup with a serene yet introspective expression. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail—from the soft drapery of her kimono to the subtle gradation of her skin tones—creates a mesmerizing tactile quality. Set against a muted background, the figure exudes quiet sophistication, reflecting Hashiguchi’s revival of classical beauty during Japan’s Taishō era. As one of only 14 prints he designed before his untimely death, Kesho No Onna represents the pinnacle of shin-hanga’s artistic refinement, bridging Edo-period craftsmanship and early 20th-century aesthetics. Its rarity and technical brilliance have cemented its status as a jewel of Japanese printmaking.
For interior styling, this artwork thrives in subdued, meditative spaces. Its intimate 39 × 26 cm dimensions suit a bedroom vanity alcove or a minimalist office desk, where its contemplative mood can shine. Frame it in a slim black or warm walnut floater frame to honor its traditional roots while maintaining modernity. Pair with neutral linen upholstery or a single burnt-umber accent—like a ceramic vase—to echo the print’s earthy pigments. Avoid competing patterns; instead, let it anchor a quiet corner alongside a low-wattage lamp to enhance its delicate luminosity. In a corporate setting, display it in a reception lounge to evoke refined cultural sophistication, ideally alongside other shin-hanga works for thematic cohesion. The key is preserving its poetic stillness through uncluttered surroundings.
