Antique Japanese Bijin-ga Painting – Taisho Period, Circa 1920
A rare and elegant Japanese Bijin-ga painting from the Taisho period (circa 1920), depicting a beautiful woman in traditional kimono gracefully holding a fan. Bijin-ga, meaning “pictures of beautiful women,” is a genre that celebrates feminine grace, poise, and seasonal beauty, and this piece is a fine example of that tradition.
Rendered with soft lines and delicate coloration, the subject exudes quiet sophistication, framed in a moment of serene reflection. Her intricately patterned kimono and gentle posture suggest an atmosphere of refinement, perhaps linked to classical poetry or seasonal celebration.
Painted during Japan’s Taisho era—a time of cultural openness and artistic evolution—this work bridges traditional aesthetic values with subtle modern sensibilities. A rare and evocative piece that would make a striking focal point in any room, especially for collectors of Nihonga or Japanese decorative arts.
