Kawase Hasui Wall Calendar: Kawase Hasui 2017 Wall Calendar presents twelve prints from Hasui's artworks. An important representative of the shin hanga movement of the early twentieth century, Kawase Hasui (Japanese, 1883–1957) was inspired by European impressionism and incorporated Western elements into his paintings of traditional Japanese scenes. He sketched using watercolors as he traveled throughout Japan, and the skilled artisans at the printing studio of publisher Watanabe Shozaburo later transformed these into woodblock prints.Artwork by Kawase HusaiPerfect for art loversPrevious and next month viewsObserves major holidays and moon phases
