March 18 / New Ukiyoe-prints by Hasui KAWASE

Hasui Kawase (川瀬 巴水, May 18, 1883 – November 7, 1957) was an artist, one of modern Japan's most important and prolific printmakers. He was a prominent designer of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects with a style influenced by Western art. Like many earlier Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Hasui's works were commonly landscapes, but displayed atmospheric effects and natural lighting.
