Woman Dressing

1920

Not on view

Kodaira Tomi, the model for this sensual figure, appears in other Goyō works. Here she holds a narrow green sash between her teeth while her bare toes peek out from beneath a long under kimono (nagajuban) decorated with motifs of red butterflies and flowers on a white ground. Goyō, who had created a series depicting beautiful women in 1920, was growing in skill and fame when he died suddenly and tragically of meningitis at the age of forty-one.
