Notes

Clark 1992

Once the composition for a painting of a single standing beauty was established within the Kaigetsudo atelier, it was frequently reused by the various members of the group with different patterns substituted on the kimono. The use of such formulas and the relatively simple, bold manner of execution must have assisted greatly in mass-producing paintings to meet popular demand. The pose of the woman raising both hands to adjust her hairpins or comb is seen in a number of Kaigetsudo works, such as an Ando painting in the Idemitsu Museum of Arts (Idemitsu 1988, no. 32), as well as prints by Dohan and Anchi, and here Dohan shows her passing a tortoiseshell hairpin through the loop of her 'Shimada' coiffure. Where the artist is able to make an individual contribution, however, is in the striking originality of the designs of the robes: one sleeve of the outer-kimono with its subtle black-on-black design of flower roundels has been shrugged off to reveal the brilliantly contrasting under-kimono of blue and white chrysanthemums against bands of red and white. The outlines of the black kimono are painted in pale grey reserve.

The painting appears to have been trimmed, somewhat over-emphasising the monumentality of the figure.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
