The air that exists in the paintings feels strangely like a familiar scene, evoking memories and emotions that have lain dormant in the depths of the mind. The beauty of the overlapping colors, which is unique to woodblock prints, and the careful interaction between the print and the artist are evident in this work, which we hope you will cherish and enjoy.

The painting depicts a woman leaning back on a sofa in a relaxed manner, as if conversing with a bird. Her hair is short, and she has bangs like a Taisho era moga (modern girl). The background of Western-style patterned flooring, wallpaper, and cushions provide a lot of information, while the subject woman’s skin is flat and simple, creating a beautiful contrast.
