There is something incredibly sinister about Matsumoto Shinako's women. I can't pinpoint if it's a specific look, or the circumstances he puts them in, or how they often appear disheveled and sneaky but they are definitely not the prim and collected women one usually encounters in traditional Japanese imagery. They are so full of emotion and life. His facial expressions are simply amazing. This is a really good reference book for anyone wanting to breathe a little life into their Japanese ladies. Text is in Japanese.
