White Robe 3/30

White Robe 3/30, printed in 1956, is a departure from Hashimoto's architectural subjects into the realm of the figure — a robed female figure or possibly a figure in ceremonial dress, rendered in the white-dominant palette that the title announces. The composition likely presents a standing or seated figure, the white of the robe providing a luminous central element against a darker ground. The 3/30 edition designation indicates this was the third print in an edition of thirty, a relatively modest run for one of his figure compositions.
