Kyosai Handkerchief Based on designs derived from ukiyo-e and temple and shrine fusuma paintings and folding screen paintings, this handkerchief is carefully printed and sewn one by one with a textile print. It is a beautiful piece that expresses the traditional beauty of Japan, drawn like a painting. Kitagawa Utamaro was a ukiyo-e artist representing the late Edo period and an innovator of beauty painting. Using a composition called "Bijin Dai-neck Painting", which depicts a large upper body of a woman, he delicately expressed his inner emotions through facial expressions and gestures. He also made full use of techniques that omitted the background and highlighted the beauty of colors and textures, and is still regarded as a genius painter who shines in Japan's art history.
