Japanese crossword «Dressing table»

The dressing table itself suggests its depth masterfully, and is reminiscent of the friendly graphics of old school video games. The figure, on the other hand, is muddled by an unnatural sitting position, which in turn makes her chair less coherent and detaches her from the mirror she is supposed to be looking into. She's recognizably female, but that's about all there is to say for her. We get greatness from the left but mediocrity from the right.

The subject matter is unique but nevertheless strikes what is my favorite tone for a nonogram - that of quietly simple humanity. With a more coherent human figure, it could have been strongly evocative of those intimately anxious moments of self-inspection before an important social event. Unfortunately, our figure communicates nothing about herself.

The solution is straightforward but not tedious. A satisfying completion for me in 8:30.
