Description

A woman wearing a kimono (着物の婦人像) is the formal subject of this portrait, the honorific "fujin" signaling a figure of maturity and social standing. Takasawa's formal bijin portraits in the portrait mode tended toward a dignified frontality or three-quarter view, the kimono and its pattern serving as both costume and character. The print represents one of his most classically composed approaches to the female subject.
