In New Perspectives: Early 20th Century Bijin-ga, Ronin Gallery invites you to consider modern “pictures of beautiful women” with fresh eyes. Featuring the work of renowned artists such as Goyo, Kotondo, and Shinsui, this exhibition looks beyond nostalgic appeal to explore these woodblock prints as vital reflections of their cultural context. Blending the familiar with the new, the past with the present, these works contribute to a national conversation: Who was the modern Japanese woman? What was the role of the woodblock print of in the modern era?
