Hasui ‘Snow at Ueno Toshogu Shrine’ (1929) Beautiful temple scene with bijin under umbrella surrounded by drifting snowfall by Hasui Kawase (1887-1957) titled “Ueno Toshogu no Yuki” (translates as “Snow at Ueno Toshogu Shrine”) and margin dated originally as “Showa 4” (or 1929). One of 16 Hasui images originally published during 1929 and 1930 by Kawaguchi & Sakai (and as such, bears no Watanabe seals)?a posthumous edition struck off of the original blocks. Printed by Shobisha Publishers (who acquired the woodblocks when K & S dissolved in 1931). Circa mid-1980’s (publisher’s OLDER inventory), printed on clearly on older paper. To learn more, please click this link about ”Old Paper.”. SPECIAL NOTE?The remaining number of these OLDER “strikes” is at this time undetermined, but is certainly limited. The workmanship in both carving and printing is simply superb?very nice gradation of colors (“bokashi”) virtually throughout print with various shadings of greys, tans, reds, and soft blues; and a touch of “gauffrage” (“blind-printing” or embossing) to the umbrella’s “ribs” which give the print real “depth.” Print is in absolute pristine condition?no tears, no stains, no fading--and printed on a nice, heavier weight "hand-made" paper that is simply no longer available today. Absolute superb image!! Image measures 9 3/8 x 14 ? inches.
