About Kamisuki(Combing Her Hair)
"Kamisuki(Combing Her Hair)" by Hashiguchi Goyo is a famous painting. The title is given by many Japanese publications but is not on the print itself. Goyo's late call to the woodblock print after a career of illustration in other media was inspired by a love of the old technique and an intense admiration for the great portraits of 'begin' ('beautiful women') by Utamaro. His perfectionism led to his publishing only a handful of prints, each one technically flawless and suggestive of a wistful passion which is characteristic of the art of the Taisho period. The fine cutting of the black blocks to represent the intricacies of women's hair was an Ukiyo-e tradition which Goyo has enthusiastically revived, and to ensure its greater impact he has restricted the rest of his palette to little more than pale blue and the cool silver grey of the mica ground.
