1910年4月
1910
Imagine a peaceful spring morning where fluffy yellow and white chicks are gossiping by a pond, surrounded by vibrant red azaleas. This charming scene is actually the cover for the April 1910 issue of Hototogisu (The Cuckoo), a famous Japanese literary magazine founded by the haiku master Masaoka Shiki. Hashiguchi Goyō, who later became a superstar for his glamorous portraits of women, shows his delicate touch here with these adorable birds. The bold, flat colors and graphic lines capture the fresh energy of early 20th-century Japanese modernism perfectly.
