Ito Shinsui (1898-1972) was the pseudonym of a Nihonga painter and ukiyo-e woodblock print artist in Taisho and Showa period Japan. He led the shin hanga art movement which revitalized the traditional art after it began to decline with the advent of photography in the early 20th century.
Behind a bamboo blind, a modern woman who had a perm is depicted in the image of cooling herself in the evening. For her hair, vague painting style is used and this seems like Shinsui’s consideration not to loudly show modern elements.
Shinsui tactfully used different skin color as to the respective subject of women’s paintings. Distinct skin color he used in this work indicates that this is a Shinsui’s new bijin-ga which he tried to combine one scene of a woman's life style in the Showa era with a traditional genre description. It is believed that this work was created around Showa 30’s (1955-60).
