PROFILE
The youngest of the three most famous female nihonga artists of the Taishō era (1912-1926), Seien, along with Uemura Shōen 上村松園 (1875-1949) and Ikeda Shōen 池田蕉園 (1886-1917), was known as one of the "three 'en' of the three cities," Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.[1] She became best known for breaking with the traditional idealized/romanticized portrayals of women in the genre known as bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). She brought personal insight and experience into much of her early, pre-1924, work resulting in a realism absent in traditional bijin painting. These aspects of her work are epitomized in her 1918 painting titled Untitled an expressive self-portrait, discussed below.
Seien became an Osaka media sensation for her skill as a painter of haunting bijin scrolls , her success at the government sponsored Bunten exhibition in 1912 at the age of twenty, and her "striking looks".
Primarily a painter in the nihonga style, a mix of various Japanese styles and traditional materials often tinged with western influences, she was sought after as an illustrator for popular novels, women-focused magazines and, on occasion, a designer of woodblock prints. Her prints are extremely valuable and sought on by collectors.

Best for decorating. Not sleeping.
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These are perfect as inserts for decorative shams and the price was great. I don't think that I would ever want to use them for sleeping. They seem slightly lumpy and don't look they would last for very long with constant use.

Great value, soft but still supportive – perfect for everyday use
Size: King (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
Really impressed with these pillows for the price. They’re soft but still provide decent support, and work well for both back and side sleeping. No weird smell and very comfortable overall. Definitely a great budget option! 👍

Good value

I bought these pillows for my son, and he really likes them. They are soft and comfortable, perfect for sleeping and even hugging to fall asleep. They hold their shape well after washing. Overall, a good value for the price!
