In a Light Summer Kimono with Irises 1933

"In a Light Summer Kimono with Irises" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Torii Kotondo, created in 1933. It depicts a woman in a light summer kimono, traditionally worn in Japan during the hot summer months. Her elegant posture and delicate features are characteristic of Kotondo's style, which combined elements of both traditional and modern Japanese art. The intricately patterned kimono and the subtle use of color create a sense of beauty and refinement. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the woman as the central figure against a background of muted tones. The artist's signature is visible in the upper right corner of the print, which adds an authentic touch. This piece is a fine example of Kotondo's work, highlighting his skill in capturing the grace and beauty of Japanese women.
