Description

This exquisite Japanese Woodblock Print by Kawase Hasui, titled 'Chuzenji, Utagahama,' was created in 1931. The print measures approximately 10 1/4 x 15 inches and has been trimmed from its original full margins. There is minor rubbing visible, particularly in the dark ink areas of the trees. The reverse of the print shows significant traces of residue and scuffing, likely from previous mounting. However, the colors on the front remain strong and unfaded, making it a valuable addition to any collection. Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) was a master of the Japanese shin-hanga ('new prints') movement, known for his tranquil landscapes and atmospheric effects. Throughout his career, he created over 600 designs, mostly in collaboration with the publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō. In 1956, he was honored as a Living National Treasure by the Japanese government.
