Original Description
Goyo Hashiguchi’s Woman Combing Her Hair (Taisho era, c. 1920) is a luminous example of shin-hanga ("new prints"), a 20th-century Japanese art movement blending traditional ukiyo-e craftsmanship with Western influences. The artwork captures an intimate moment—a young woman, her kimono slipping sensually from her shoulders, combs her long, dark hair with quiet elegance. Hashiguchi’s meticulous linework and delicate gradations of color, from the cream of her skin to the indigo-dyed fabric, create a striking harmony of grace and restraint. As one of only a handful of prints Hashiguchi completed before his untimely death, this piece is critically revered for elevating bijin-ga ("beautiful women pictures") into high art. Its subdued eroticism and psychological depth set it apart from Edo-period predecessors, reflecting Taisho-era modernity while honoring the soul of Japanese woodblock tradition. Today, it remains a masterpiece of early 20th-century printmaking, celebrated for its technical brilliance and haunting beauty.
For interior styling, this print’s muted palette of ochres, blues, and whites lends itself to both minimalist and traditionally inspired spaces. Hang it in a study or bedroom to cultivate serenity—its contemplative subject pairs beautifully with natural materials like linen, tatami, or dark walnut wood. Choose a frame in slim black lacquer or unadorned oak to honor its Japanese roots, and position it at eye level for maximum impact. In a modern office, let it anchor a neutral wall alongside sleek furniture, its organic curves softening rigid lines. Proportional placement is key: the original oban-size print (~15 x 10 inches) works best as a focal point in cozy nooks, while larger reproductions can command attention above mantels or sideboards. Complement its colors with celadon ceramics or a single ikebana arrangement, avoiding clutter to preserve its meditative quality.
