Tipsy, from the series ‘Modern Styles of Women’, Kobayakawa Kiyoshi (1930)
Kobayakawa was born in Fukuoka and traveled to Kyoto around 1912 where he studied Nihonga painting with
Kaburagi Kiyokata. This work was awarded a special prize in the 14th Teien exhibition held in 1933 and is a noteworthy indication that Kobayakawa had begun to focus on contemporary female genre subjects.
