The painters will succeed the painters for a thousand years, and this conventional mask will remain the face of the woman... I am convinced that this is not a special modality in Japanese art. Let us only recall the slow evolution of Egyptian art, the persistence of cannons, the hieratic poses, fixed once and for all, and the diversity of the gods alone creating the diversity of types...
