Based in Yokohama’s Asahi Ward, Okamoto Yasuko is a painter with local connections to the city who has painted women throughout her career. The young girls depicted in many of her paintings are inspired by the students of Yokohama Kyoritsu Gakuen, a mission school in Yamate where she worked. Perhaps this painting shows them singing a hymn from a sheet of music? Okamoto’s works often include references to religion and customs, with depictions of crosses, candles, veils, origami cranes, New Year’s visits to shrines, Tanabata festival, and Buddha’s birthday. The uneven lines that look like they were drawn with charcoal, and the pale colors made to look like they have faded, are perhaps the artist’s way of depicting intangible things like people’s thoughts, wishes, and prayers.
