Goyō‘s Female Portraits
Goyō Hashiguchi (1880–1921) emerged at a key moment in Japanese art, bridging the refined traditions of ukiyo-e with the quieter, more introspective spirit of early modern Japan. Goyō worked during the Taishō era, a time of cultural openness and subtle transformation, and developed a style that favored intimacy over drama.
His female portraits are marked by calm presence and emotional restraint. Rather than idealized figures, his women appear thoughtful and self-contained, captured in moments of stillness and introspection. Delicate lines, softened colors, and an exceptional attention to texture—particularly in hair and fabric—create a sense of quiet depth and a timeless expression of grace that captures, and gently holds, the viewer’s gaze.

In this collection –three women, three covers– each notebook seeks to convey the serene elegance of Goyō Hashiguchi’s female portraits. They are created for those who are drawn to Japanese aesthetics, who linger over beautiful details, and who appreciate objects that feel both artistic and practical.
