Winter Beauty on Woodblock

Here are some very beautiful woodblock prints from the Cavallini archives.

- Kawase Hasui (1883-1957)

Known for his exquisite landscape prints, Kawase Hasui was one of the most prolific and talented shin hanga artists of the early 20th century. He designed over six hundred woodblock prints, mainly for the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, although he also briefly worked for several other publishers. Many people feel that Hasui's most original work was done at the beginning of his career. Unfortunately, the blocks for Hasui's earliest prints were destroyed in the devastating 1923 Kanto earthquake and they were never reprinted. Consequently, Hasui's pre-earthquake prints are among the rarest and most sought-after shin hanga.

I have discussed Japanese woodblock printmaking in another earlier topic.

Since it is winter in this part of the world I will post some very lovely winter scenes.
