Apparently, the clothes of the two characters are marked with tiny numbers. I don't see them, but admittedly it's a bad photo. The numbers on the wrestler are said to symbolize the long months, those on the woman the short months.</p>
Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>"Woman Holding Black Cat," Yumeji Takehisa, 1920.</p><p>Takehisa (1884-1934) was a Japanese poet and artist of the Nihonga school, which specializes in mineral pigments on parchment or silk, and who did primarily bijinga works, or paintings of beautiful women, although he also did a number of commercial design, including book covers, washi paper, furoshiki cloths, postcards, and illustrations.</p><p>A struggling workingman, he had many Socialist sympathies, and for a time produced a number of pro-Socialist works, but after a Socialist assassination attempt on the emperor, he withdrew vocal support, mainly from self-preservation. He traveled the US and Europe, partly to escape Japan's militarism in the 30s, but returned to Japan after being alarmed by the rise of Nazism. He died of TB not long after his return.</p><p>Despite being pretty traditional, his art was touched by Western influences, and he is regarded now as an early influence on manga art, given his preference for depicting figures with large eyes.</p><p>From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AsianArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/JapaneseArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JapaneseArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/YumejiTakehisa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YumejiTakehisa</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nihonga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nihonga</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CatsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Bijinga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bijinga</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Manga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Manga</span></a></p>
