Original Description
Goyo Hashiguchi's Nagajuban (1920) epitomizes the refined elegance of Japan's shin-hanga (new prints) movement, blending traditional ukiyo-e craftsmanship with subtle Western influences. The woodblock print captures a young woman adjusting her crimson underkimono (nagajuban), her poised gesture and downcast gaze exuding quiet intimacy. Hashiguchi’s meticulous detailing—the delicate folds of fabric, the play of light on her skin, and the restrained palette—creates a harmonious balance between sensuality and restraint. As one of only 14 prints Hashiguchi designed before his untimely death, Nagajuban represents his pursuit of perfection in color gradation and compositional stillness, elevating bijinga (beautiful women) prints to modernist sophistication. Today, it is celebrated as a masterpiece bridging Edo-period traditions and 20th-century artistic innovation, housed in collections like the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
For interior styling, Nagajuban thrives in minimalist or Japandi-inspired spaces, where its warm crimson and ochre tones complement neutral backdrops of taupe, ivory, or soft charcoal. Frame it in a slim black lacquer or natural ashwood frame to honor its traditional roots, and place it against an uncluttered wall—perhaps above a low console or beside a recessed niche with an ikebana arrangement. In offices, it lends quiet sophistication to meditation corners or reception areas; pair it with tailored furniture and woven textures to echo its organic grace. Opt for a medium-sized reproduction (approx. 40x30cm) to preserve its intricate details without overwhelming smaller rooms. The print’s contemplative mood makes it ideal for bedrooms or studies, where its subdued energy fosters calm focus.
