Description from the seller

Woodblock Print "Woman Applying Rouge" 紅筆を持てる女(べにふでをもてるおんな) – Hashiguchi Goyo 橋口五葉(はしぐちごよう)

This beautiful woodblock print is titled “Woman Applying Rouge,” created by Hashiguchi Goyo, an artist celebrated as the “Utamaro of the Taisho era.” Goyo left behind only 14 woodblock prints during his short career, making his works exceptionally rare and highly valued by collectors around the world.

This piece is a high-quality woodblock reprint produced around 1980 by the esteemed Tanseisha studio in Kyoto, as part of their revival edition of the series “Six Figures of Women” (Onna Rokudai). The print captures a woman applying rouge with refined elegance, showcasing Goyo’s signature style of serene beauty and sensual subtlety.

Hashiguchi Goyo’s artworks were famously admired and collected by Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, which further highlights the global appreciation for his refined aesthetic sense.
