A broad stone stairway climbs between them from the foreground, its treads edged with moss and low green shrubs. At the right a low building with a green tiled roof and white walls sits against the wall, and two small figures — one in blue, one in orange — stand at its corner. The sky is deep blue at the top, fading to pale green at the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKawase Hasui (1883–1957) was the defining landscape artist of shin-hanga, the movement that carried Japanese woodblock printing into the twentieth century. From 1918 he worked with the publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō, travelling almost continuously through Japan and turning roadside sketches into prints of unusual atmospheric precision. Snow, rain and failing light were his real subjects, as much as any temple or harbour. In 1956 Japan recognised his woodblock technique as an Intangible Cultural Property. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
