The Female Image: 20th Century Prints of Japanese Beauties (Hardcover)
Hamanaka, Shinji & Newland, Amy
9 x 12", 220 pp., 350 color illustrations, text in English and Japanese, board, d.j., Leiden, 2000.
The Female Image is a comprehensive survey of the genre of bijinga (''prints of beautiful women'') produced in the shin hanga (''new print'') tradition that evolved in the early 20th century. This bilingual (Japanese/English) publication is lavishly illustrated with works from Japanese, European and American public and private collections. Included are not only prints by major artists such as Hashiguchi Goyt (1880-1921), Torii Kotondo (1900-76) and Itt Shinsui (1898-1972), but also examples from more obscure print designers which have rarely been reproduced. An essay by Shinji Hamanaka of the Yamatane Museum of Art in Tokyo regarding the concept of bijinga and by Amy Reigle Newland on the appreciation of shin hanga in the West provide further insight into aspects of bijinga and shin hanga.
