Woman Combing Her Hair at Goyu

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut print from the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai's famous series "Stations of the Tokaido." Created in 1804, this print is numbered as the thirty-ninth image in the sequence, depicting a woman engaged in the simple yet intimate act of combing her long, flowing hair. The scene unfolds at the Goyu inn, located in the sixteenth station of the Tokaido Road, between Ōtsuki and Akasaka. The Tokaido Road was a major highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, the two most significant cultural centers of Japan during the Edo period. Hokusai's series vividly portrays the diverse characters and scenes encountered along this famous route. In this particular print, the woman's serene expression and the gentle curve of her neck as she leans forward to comb her hair create a sense of tranquility. The delicate folds of her kimono and the intricate pattern of the comb add to the intricacy and beauty of the composition. The natural setting of the print, with its lush greenery and the distant mountains, further emphasizes the harmony between the woman and her surroundings. Hokusai's mastery of the woodcut technique is evident in the intricate details and bold lines that bring the scene to life. The delicate balance between the woman and her environment, as well as the attention to detail in her attire and accessories, make "Woman Combing Her Hair at Goyu" a captivating and visually stunning work of art from Japan's rich cultural heritage.
