Sound of Tsuzumi 1940

"Sound of Tsuzumi" (1940) by Uemura Shoen depicts a woman in traditional Japanese garb, holding a tsuzumi, a small hand drum. The elegant figure is rendered with delicate lines and soft colors, a hallmark of Shoen's style. This work showcases the artist's expertise in capturing the beauty and grace of traditional Japanese aesthetics, reflecting the artistic spirit of the early 20th century. The subtle details, such as the intricate patterns on her kimono and the delicate floral motifs, add to the overall sense of refinement.
