• Although one tends to be caught up in the notion that bijinga is a painting which merely depicts beautiful women, 'Kojien' dictionary defines the term using the abstract expression that it 'emphasizes women's beauty', and 'Shincho Encyclopedia of World Art' (SHINCHOSHA Publishing Co., Ltd, 1985, ISBN 4107302067) defines the term as representing 'women's beautiful looks', and 'Gendai Nihon Bijinga Zenshu: Selection of Masterpieces Vol. I' (by Chiyo SEKI, Shueisha Inc., 1979) defines it as being a quest for and having the motif of 'beauty inside women'; therefore the definition of a depiction of a beautiful woman is not necessarily the representation of the subject's true nature.
