"Summer Geisha" is a woodblock by Torii Kotondo that explores the human form with sensitivity and artistic vision.
As a shin-hanga work, this piece reflects the movement's emphasis on collaboration between artist, carver, and printer to achieve technical refinement and atmospheric beauty. The woodblock technique allows for the characteristic interplay of precise line work and subtle color gradation that gives the image its distinctive presence. Dating to 1934, this work was created during a period of creative ferment in Japanese printmaking.
