MWW Artwork of the Day (3/16/24) Uemura Shoen (Japanese, 1875-1949) Woman Waiting for the Moon to Rise (1944) Color on silk; hanging scroll, 73 x 86 cm. Adachi Museum of Art, Yasugi, Japan

Shoen was known primarily for her bijinga paintings of beautiful women in the nihonga style, although she also produced numerous works on historical themes and traditional subjects. This young married woman here, leaning on the banister, is waiting on the moon. Her beautiful hair contrasts her white skin perfectly. The red “naga-juban” (underwear for a kimono) can be seen through the thin kimono. Shoen’s depiction of the woman’s neck and fine skin is outstanding. Her ability appeals to all viewers. The woman’s facial expression, and the large cut sky, give depth and make this painting into a delicate and noble work.
