KAWASE HASUI WATERCOLOR PAINTING
EXTREMELY RARE - KAWASE HASUI WATERCOLOR PAINTING******** This gorgeous watercolor painting is painted on thin washi. The painting is dated 11/10/27.

A similar but different watercolor painting is shown in Hotei's reference Kawase Hasui: The Complete Woodblock Prints. Excellent condition, does not appear to have ever been framed.
