Kawase Hasui 2018 Calendar

Kawase Hasui 2018 Calendar

Kawase Hasui s woodblock prints brought the world romantic views of early twentieth-century Japan. Originally a watercolorist, Hasui (Japanese, 1883 1957) partnered with enterprising publisher Watanabe Sh zabur , and in so doing helped establish the shin hanga ( new prints ) movement, which combined the ukiyo-e ( pictures of the floating world ) tradition with Western styles. The resulting landscapes retain a distinct feeling of time, place, and season. The shin hanga movement began around 1915, just a few years before Hasui began his work with Sh zabur . By 1930, an exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art announced shin hanga prints to the American public. Each print in this calendar was part of that landmark exhibition.
