Combing Hair
Catalog note / 解説
Goyö's prints reflect the competing cultural claims of Japan in the 1920's. His women are flesh-and-blood beauties of the modern world, yet they are placed in the largely two-dimensional physical realm of Edo, or, in this case, abstracted out of a spatial setting altogether. In the commercial world of shinhanga (new woodblock prints), the use of idealized women as emblems of native culture became a popular theme in the late 1920's and 1930's. 2002
