Mukōjima c. 1914 - 1916

"Mukōjima" is a woodblock print by Ishii Hakutei, a prominent Japanese artist who was known for his beautiful depiction of women. Created between 1914 and 1916, this print features a young woman dressed in a kimono, sitting on a veranda and delicately holding a fan with a scenic depiction. The woman's serene expression and the carefully rendered details of her clothing and surroundings create a sense of calm and sophistication. Hakutei's work often captured the elegance and beauty of traditional Japanese culture, making this print a wonderful example of the genre.
