Japanese woodblock print by great shin-hanga artist Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) titled "Moon at Umagome" from the series “Twenty views of Tokyo” (Tokyo nijukei, Umagome no tsuki).

The print is dated Showa 5 (1930).

Probably the most famous Hasui night view - reproduced on the dust jacket of Kendall H. Brown Hasui’s catalog raisonne. One from the best Hasui’s night views - very romantic.

Signed by artist Hasui, has seal “Sui” in the image and titled in kanji at the left margin.

Faded example will have the yellow inks used for the moon and farmhouse window faded to white.

Oban size 15 1/2" x 10 1/4". There is also a koban edition made to be inserted into the catalog for the Hasui retrospective show at the Folk Museum, Tokyo, 1990. This scene was also published in a koban size as a limited edition of 120 prints for the 2002-published "First day cover" catalogue, and for the Ota-ku/Yamanashi Kawase Hasui exhibition catalogue circa 2010.
