Description

A posthumous edition of Goyo's dressing woman composition — likely printed circa 1922, shortly after his 1921 death, from the blocks he had prepared during his final productive years. The dressing subject was central to Goyo's project of documenting feminine private life, and the posthumous editions produced by his family and authorized publishers maintained the high production standards he had established. The Taisho period setting (ca. 1919–1922) places these dressing compositions at the intersection of traditional feminine practice and modern sensibility.
