“Kamogawa”
about 1914（大正3）年頃／Hanging scroll / Silk
“Kamogawa” is the most memorable piece of the Yumeji Art Museum as part of the first collection of the first director Motoi Matsuda. This work is shown as the lovely back figure of a young maiko looking at the far distance of Kamogawa in Kyoto. The tender line reaching the hem of her long kimono from the roundness of her shoulder expresses the graceful beauty of a Japanese woman. In the pastel vision, the white thin nape, the red collar, and the long black obi (a broad Japanese sash for a kimono) are impressive. During the Taisho era, Yumeji was remarkably popular as a leader in woman's fashion. In 1914, Yumeji opened the shop "Minatoya" in Nihonbashi in Tokyo was popular among young women. The shop included goods such as decorative collars (on an under-kimono), obis (a broad Japanese sash for a kimono), chiyogami (colored paper printed with beautiful patterns), and picture postcards he designed.
