Kawase Hasui

Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) is my favorite among the many excellent Japanese printmakers of the 19th and 20th centuries.   Here are two of his best works, imo --

  • Taishō Pond in Kamikōchi (color woodblock print).

  • Snow at Funabori, Edogawa, 1932 (color woodblock print).

  • Both are at the Los Angeles County Museum site, where many other Hasui prints can also be found.
