Tatsumi Shimura
Apprentice Japanese Geisha (Maiko)

2009

About the Item

A young apprentice geisha from Kyoto poses before a gold leaf screen. She is both alluring and slightly distant at the same time, not an easy balance for an artist to convey. This print was supervised by Tatsunori Shimura, descendent of the artist and was based on a painting by Tatsumi Shimura. Shimura had a long career, working as an illustrator as well as a print designer for bijin-ga (prints of beautiful women). Numbered “HC” (hors commerce) from an limited edition of 99, and printed by Inter Art Company in Japan. This print reads as a painting and was created with the highest quality standards. This work would work especially well in a bedroom, bathroom or dressing area, but it is bold enough for a main room.
