"Shato no Yuki" (Snow at Benten Shrine Entrance, Inokashira) by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957). Breathtaking! Excellent shading throughout with light embossing. First printed 1929 originally by Kawaguchi & Sakai; this is a later printing by Shobisha from original blocks. Shobisha obtained the original blocks in about 1950. Signed Hasui with red artist seal "sui". Bottom margin contains title "Shato no Yuki"(Snow at Benten Shrine Entrance, Inokashira) and "Showa 4nen"(printed 1929) in Japanese. Pristine condition, never framed and full margins. Very wonderful "bokashi" shading through print with finely carved details. Old master quality. Paper size is 16 inches by 11 and 1/4 inches. Very Japanese mood, very soft romantic colors beautiful and delicate. A true classic Hasui print of the highest order.
