Hideo Hagiwara's "Danae" is a woodcut print that depicts the mythological figure Danae, reclining on a bed in a richly patterned room. The work showcases Hagiwara's masterful use of black and white, creating a striking contrast between the figure and the intricate background, a stylistic choice common in Japanese woodcut prints. The print's composition, with Danae's figure lying in the foreground, evokes a sense of intimacy and sensuality, reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodblock prints. The use of geometric patterns, particularly the prominent triangles, adds a sense of structure and depth to the piece.
