Two Ladies, Each with a Portion of a Lacquered Mirror 1790s Kitagawa Utamaro Japanese Utamaro selectively used reflection to reinforce narrative and to emphasize themes. In this print, a standing woman holds up a mirror to a seated woman. Ironically, Utamaro chose to show the standing woman's reflection in the lacquered back of the mirror rather than the seated woman's in the mirror itself. The image involves a dual relationship: two women hold halves of the same object and perform a similar action. Their mimicking of each other duplicates the role of the mirror, which Utamaro placed between them as a communicative device.. Two Ladies, Each with a Portion of a Lacquered Mirror 54864
