Beautiful Bijin-ga print is by Goyo Hashiguchi. Published by Tanseisha. Very beautiful mica background and very nice colors. Goyo's signature and seal and original date in the image at right. Carver name; Sadao Uetani, Printer name; Kurazo Yoneda, Narazaki supervisor's seal, and Tanseisha's publisher seal on the left margin. I don't see this print on the market often. This print published in October, this print shows a seasonal reference to reddening maple leaves. The gesture of holding the cloth up to the face was much favored by Utamaro, but the elegant, yet full-blooded color contrasts give a piquancy which is all Goyo's. The only apparent concession to Western taste is the gold ring on the left finger. Absolutely beautiful Bijin print.

Shimagasuri (Modern beauty in Japanese Kimono)
$ 1,400.00
Fabulous modern Bijin-ga print "Shimagasuri" (Modern beauty in Japanese Kimono) is by Matazo Kayama (1927-2004). Matazo Kayama was a Japanese Nihon-ga painter of the 20th century, born in Kyoto in 1927. He is a well-known artist in Japan and also a worldwide artist. Many of his artworks have been sold at famous auctions, including Christie's New York. This print is highly desirable and hard to find. This print shows modern and cool Japanese beauty. Very exotic and mysterious mood. Shimagasuri is a type of Japanese Kimono fabric that has been woven with fibers dyed specifically to create stripe patterns in the fabric.
Colors are vivid, vibrant and have amazing contrast. All information about this print is on the right margin.

Pencil signed by the artist on the bottom of the information.
I just want to add information about his model. Her name is Yufu (written Yufu but called Yuu, very old way to read) She was his student at Tama Art University. Kayama had used the same model 'Yuu" for 13 years and he made 3,500 sketches of her. Her husband is also Kayama's student and artist. I read a book and it was very interesting. Yuu became a Nihon-ga (Japanese painting) artist after retiring from being the model for Kayama.
