Kotondo is best known for bijin-ga, but his complete oeuvre includes actor prints and other figure subjects. His small corpus of only 21 designs ensures that all authenticated period impressions carry collector interest and scarcity premiums.
A woman is depicted in one of the diverse subjects that defined Kotondo's practice across several decades — the composition's identity somewhat uncertain without additional provenance. Kotondo's bijin-ga work spanned the private rituals of feminine life with an attentiveness rarely matched in the shin-hanga movement, and any unidentified print from his hand likely belongs to this sustained exploration of women in quiet, intimate moments.
Curated cross-cuts that include this print.
