Yet sitting in the Gallery Naruyama in central Tokyo, one's eye nevertheless strays from Matsui to her 2004 painting Keeping Up the Pureness, in which a ghostly pale woman, black hair pooling beneath her head, lies in a misty field of lilies, poppies and moss. Painstakingly drawn on gold silk, Pureness could be a perfect example of nihonga, traditional Japanese ink painting-save for the coroner's cut that unseams Matsui's subject from chest to chaps, leaving heart, lungs...
