Steve Jobs visited Japan in 1983 and purchased an ukiyoe print, “Woman Combing Her Hair” (Goyo Hashiguchi, 1920) at a certain gallery in Ginza.
This painting was presented at the presentation of McIntosh.
The goal was to draw these curves of black hair using computer graphics. At the time, it was said to be too difficult to draw smooth curves with computer graphics, and no one, except for Jobs, seemed to embark on its development. However, Jobs did it with a performer that popularized it for home use. It is said that this event was the starting point that opened the world of computer graphics leading to the present day.
