Original Description
The delicate feminine beauty captured in Woman in a Summer Kimono (1918) epitomizes Hashiguchi Goyō’s mastery of shin-hanga (new prints), blending traditional ukiyo-e elegance with subtle Western realism. Against a muted olive-green background, the young woman adjusts her pale lavender kimono, its translucent sleeves revealing the curve of her arm—a study in quiet sensuality. Goyō’s precision in textile patterns (notably the chrysanthemum motifs) and the model’s contemplative gaze reflect his obsession with craftsmanship, developed under European-influenced Nihonga painting training. As one of only 14 woodblock prints he designed before his untimely death, this work revolutionized Taishō-era aesthetics by elevating bijin-ga (beautiful women prints) to fine art status, now housed in Honolulu Museum of Art as a shin-hanga benchmark.
For interiors, this print’s soft indigos and warm neutrals harmonize effortlessly with Scandinavian minimalism or Japandi spaces. Hang it vertically (original size ~40×26 cm) as a focal point above a linen-upholstered bench in an entryway, echoing the kimono’s hues through ceramic vases in smoky blues. In home offices, pair with walnut shelving and washi paper lamps to amplify its organic textures, ensuring 3000K lighting to accentuate the delicate bokashi (gradations). Avoid cluttering nearby walls—its intimate scale demands breathing room—but can anchor a serene vignette alongside Ikebana arrangements. Corporate settings benefit from its cultural gravitas in reception areas, where it subtly bridges tradition and modernity alongside sleek Tadao Ando-inspired concrete surfaces.
