'The female image' is a comprehensive survey of the genre of bijinga ('prints of beautiful women') produced in the Shin hanga tradition that evolved in the early 20th century. This bilingual (Japanese/English) publication is lavishly illustrated with works from Japanese, European and American public and private collections. Prints by major artists such as Hashiguchi GoyÅ (1880-1921), Torii Kotondo (1900-76) and ItÅ Shinsui (1898-1972) are included, as are examples from more obscure print designers which have rarely been reproduced.
