The figure is rendered with minimal line against a cool pale blue ground, the warmth of flesh tones set against a dramatically patterned indigo and red obi and striped garment pooled below — a composition of exceptional elegance and economy. The print belongs to Shinsui's monumental series \u003cem\u003eTwelve Forms of New Beauties\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eShin bijin juni sugata\u003c\/em\u003e), intended to be issued in editions of 200 with a new print each month for one year; the final print was delayed by the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1923, and this impression — dated spring Taishō 13 (1924) in the right margin — represents that final, long-awaited release.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePublisher Watanabe Shōzaburō discovered Shinsui's work in 1916, kickstarting a twenty-five-year collaboration between the two figureheads of the shin-hanga movement. Shinsui's series of \u003cem\u003eTwelve New Figures of Beauties\u003c\/em\u003e is in the vein of earlier ukiyo-e bijin-ga (beauty prints), yet his figures are imbued with a fresh realism derived from Western-style painting that would become a hallmark of the shin-hanga style. Itō Shinsui was born in Tokyo in 1898 and studied under the master painter Kaburagi Kiyokata. His bijin-ga prints are held in the permanent collections of the British Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Brooklyn Museum, LACMA, and numerous other institutions worldwide.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis reproduction is locally and professionally printed on acid-free archival fine-art paper using highly fade-resistant pigmented inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e お白粉 (Oshiroi — Applying Powder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shin bijin juni sugata (新美人十二姿 — Twelve Forms of New Beauties), No. 12 (final)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Itō Shinsui (伊東深水, 1898–1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal date:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Taishō 13 (1924); publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Archival giclée reproduction on acid-free fine-art paper, pigmented inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\" W × 13\" H (20 × 33 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51818536436029,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/3752D264-4C5B-4CC9-86EC-6A9F17EEBA7B_1_105_c.jpg?v=1781133795","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/contemporary-giclee-repro-print-ito-shinsui-applying-powder-bijin-taisho-1924-8w","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
