'Spring' (春) a.k.a. 'Red Kimono', 1917, by Itō Shinsui (伊東 深水, 1898 - 1972), the pseudonym of a Nihonga painter and ukiyo-e woodblock print artist in Taishō- and Shōwa-period Japan, whose real name was Itō Hajime (Japanese: 伊東 一).
Itō was one of the great names of the shin-hanga (new prints ) art movement, which revitalised the traditional art after it began to decline with the advent of photography in the early 20th century.
As with most artists of the shin-hanga movement (notably Kawase Hasui), Itō was spotted by publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō, who effectively monopolised the market. Itō came to be known as a specialist in the bijin-ga ("pictures of beautiful women") genre, although he also occasionally painted landscapes.
