Beauty with Puppy

Yamaguchi Soken (1759-1818)

Edo period, 18^th-19^th century

Hanging scroll, ink and colors on silk

This painting depicts a beautiful young woman fanning herself on the way out to enjoy the cool breeze of a Japanese summer night. Notice the wild geese and grass on her delicate fan.  The lightness of her summer kimono and her red undergarments add a seductive mood to the painting, and the little puppy pulling at her sleeve adds a playful touch as well.

Skateboards for Japan

It is so hard to put into the words the heartbreak we are feeling.  The devastation in Japan is absolutely horrifying and gut wrenching.  There are many ways we can help.  Please text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan.  Or visit redcross.org to make a donation.  We are also hoping to make skateboards to sell to raise money to help the efforts in Japan.  Please visit The Price Collection facebook page to vote on which painting you would like to see on a skate.
