[Japanese woman wearing wire spectacles] [1897] 1 print : woodcut, color. Notes: Ukiyo-e print illustration showing a woman seated at a table dressed in a kimono and wearing eyeglasses. Caption label from exhibit "Floating World," Major Genres--Beauties section: The "Beautiful People" of Victorian Japan. True Beauties, illustrated by Toyohara Chikanobu (1838-1912), contains delicately hued portraits of a host of "modern" Japanese women who thrived in the new and changing world three decades into the Meiji era (1868-1912). Clad in a kimono bearing her family crest, the young woman depicted here combines East and West in an exciting blend of fashions. From her blue-tinted spectacles to her gold ring, her accessories announce that she is a woman of means and expansive taste. Chikanobu, his carver, and his printer all worked to provide a rich palate of tones to mesmerize the viewer more than a century later. Illus. in: Shin bijin.
