Kotondo Poster Torii Kotondo (1900-1976)
Morning Hair
c. 1932
Signed upper left: Kotondo ga followed by a square artist's seal reading Shi
Publisher: Ikeda, Tokyo




This print clearly depicts a summer scene, suggested by the green mesh of a mosquito net in the background, characteristically used throughout Japan on sultry summer nights. The title asanegami literally means "hair of a late riser."

This particular print illustrates the unkempt figure of a young woman in bed, her comb lying on a pillow in front of her.

Reproduced as a 20" x 30 " fine art poster
