Rich Black Hair Flowing Through Her Comb
Yu Miyazaki is a Japanese-style painter who has fascinated many people with her "bijin-ga" ("portraits of beautiful women") with delicate lines and soft colors. She received the grand prize at the 9th Adachi Contemporary Ukiyo-e Award, and her first woodcut print "Full Bloom - Hanazakari" that she created with contemporary carvers and printers received high acclaim. Five years later, she worked with modern artisans once again to create her second woodcut print, "Rich Black Hair Flowing Through Her Comb." A tribute to Hashiguchi Goyo, who was called the "Utamaro of the Taisho era,'' this work embodies the elegance of bijin-ga that has been passed down through history.
