Weak support - I've been looking at Hashiguchi's work, but I seem to have fallen in love with File:Hashiguchi Goyo - Woman in Blue Combing Her Hair - Walters 95880.jpg, which is used fairly well as well but does not have the necessary resolution. That being said, this is still a very good reproduction, and I wouldn't mind it passing... just feel the woman combing her hair would be more representative. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:23, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crisco 1492: There's this, which I'm also going to upload; it's a reprint though, while this Yokugo no onna was done while Hashiguchi was still alive. Do you want to change your !vote? Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 20:28, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ick, so noisy. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's still better than what we have, though, right? Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 03:16, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Shudder. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:45, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        That can't be a no, can it? I wasn't going to nominate it, but I'm looking at the two files side-by-side and I see it as an enormous improvement. Are my eyes that bad? Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 09:45, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        An improvement for articles, yes, but I don't think a modern reproduction would work well in this forum. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:54, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
