Woman Combing Her Hair (Japanese: 髪梳ける女) is a shin-hanga woodblock print by Goyō Hashiguchi. It was created in 1920 during the Taishō era of Japan. The work shows an intimate moment: a woman combing her hair was usually only visible to members of a her immediate family as, at the time, women's hair was worn in buns.[2] Goyō was inspired by bijin-ga, namely those by Kitagawa Utamaro.[3] In 1983, a print purchased by Steve Jobs was one of the first things scanned into an Apple computer during Bill Atkinson's development of MacPaint. Apple artist Susan Kare then recreated the portrait in MacPaint on the Macintosh 128K as a promotional image.[4] Kare's version appeared on the box, diskette label, and manual for MacPaint.[5][non-primary source needed]
