积云在青色的天空中流动，菱纹在琉璃色的衣装上游走。一位标准的“深水式美人”微倚栏杆，轻托起刚洗净的秀发，持一把玳瑁栉，缓缓地从发身梳理至发梢。乌黑的双眸略微失焦，似乎正想着什么出神。双颊上的浅浅红晕，将她饱满健康的脸庞装点得娇俏动人。微风拂过，几绺发丝飘曳。气血充盈的少女，永远是人世间最珍贵的美好。

Ito Shinsui (1898-1972）
Ito Shinsui is best known for his Shin Hanga portraits, often three-quarters, of beautiful women. But he produced several memorable, and memorably tonal, landscapes during his career.
Born in 1898 in a fast-modernizing Japan, he started work as a factory worker before his obvious talent got him promoted to the design department. Later, his paintings caught the eye of Watanabe Shozaburo, who added him to his roster of Shin Hanga stars. From this point on, beautiful women were almost Shinsui’s entire repetoire, although during World War II he did travel to Indonesia to produce designs depicting life there. His remarkable life spanned a tumultuous time indeed, and he died in 1972.
