Hasui: Snow at Shirahige (SOLD)

Artist: Kawase Hasui Title: Snow at Shirahige (Yuki no Shirahige) Series: Twelve Scenes of Tokyo (Tokyo junidai) Date: 1920 Tokyo jûnidai, Yuki no Shirahige. Hasui himself said about this work “...Mukôjima still retains its former appearance, and this imbues it with a unique charm. On this particular day, it had been snowing heavily since the morning...I left home in this incessant snow to visit the Hyakka garden. En route I happened upon this scene....”. Scarce, pre-earthquake design, especially in this condition. It is important to look for the soft yellows in the lights on the shore and the soft green in the water when assessing this work to look for fading. The colors should look exactly like this example when in unfaded condition. Condition: Excellent impression, color and condition. Mint. Dimensions: ôban Publisher: Watanabe Shôzaburô Literature: Hotei #34 Seal: Sui (yin-yang type) Signature: Hasui
