Woman Combing Her Hair by Gōyo Hashiguchi
Perhaps the most recognised work in Hashiguchi's lifetime output of just fourteen prints, this shin-hanga composition depicts a woman absorbed in the slow ritual of combing her hair. The cascading black hair dominates the composition, its linear flow contrasting with the geometric patterns of the kimono and the rounded forms of the figure. Hashiguchi's treatment of the hair — each strand implied rather than drawn — is a technical achievement that defines the print's enduring appeal. The warm amber and ochre of the kimono ground the composition, while the pale skin and white undergarment create a luminosity unusual in woodblock printing of the period.
Printed as an archival fine art print in our Berlin studio, the flowing lines of Hashiguchi's hair treatment and the rich warmth of his palette are reproduced with precision on matte fine art paper — every strand and pattern rendered with complete fidelity.
