Takahashi Shotei ?? ?? (1871-1945) painted this ukiyo-e in 1925. You see a geisha with a brazier. The painting is showing extraordinary details. Look at the pattern of the kimono, obi and even at the hair. The face in contrast is plain white, because of the mask-like makeup, but she is not expressionless. She is pushing two sticks into a brazier. They look like incense sticks. Takahashi Shotei is a Japanese artist with a wide range of themes. If you like this painting, look for more works at wikiart. |
