 My first barber that cut my hair was an older Japanese lady that
this face reminds me of . It's not a distortion, just a face type
you may not resemble what you are use to seeing. I lived among
many oriental people all my life. I agree, as art the design is terrible
to my sense ,also.

Chris, print is bad. Face is incompetent and in poor taste, hands are better,
but too western. Painful hybrid. Composition is dead.

So.... is there anyone here who has a positive response to this image?

Or, does everyone concur with William: "That's gotta be the worst Japanese
print I've ever seen, by far, far, far." ?

If so --- why ? Can anyone attempt to explain such a judgment ?

The artist, Yumeji Takehisa, seems to be both highly skilled as well as innovative (i.e. he came way before Gary Trudeau) -- and we have an image
that others, like myself, may rate as much better:

Why is that girl with the Gary Trudeau eyes so much worse ?

Such an explanation, whatever it might be, would be very important to the
study of aesthetics -- would it not ?
