Kawase-Zozoji Temple in Snow- 1.jpg is: Hasui ‘Snow at Zojoji Shrine’ (1929) Beautiful temple scene with bijin under umbrella surrounded by drifting snowfall by Hasui Kawase (1887-1957) titled “Yuki no Zojoji” (translates as “Snow at Zojoji Shrine”) and margin dated originally as “Showa 4, Nigatsu” (or 1929, February). One of 16 Hasui images published during 1929 and 1930 by Kawaguchi & Sakai (and as such, bears no Watanabe seals)—a posthumous edition struck off of the original blocks. Published by Shobisha Publisher who acquired the blocks when K & S dissolved in 1931. Circa 1990's. The workmanship in both carving and printing is simply superb—very nice gradation of colors (“bokashi”) virtually throughout print with various shadings of grays, tans, reds, and very soft blues; and nicely done “gauffrage” (“blind-printing” or embossing) to many of the falling snowflakes which give the print real “depth.” Print is in absolute pristine condition—no tears, no stains, no fading. Additionally, the hand-made Japanese paper used in these prints is much heavier and nicer than many other Hasui prints. Great image!! Image measures 9 ¼ x 14 ¼ inches |
"Zozoji Temple in Snow" -1929 Print size 11.5" x 16.5" (Full Oban) Post-War Strike ORIGINAL Pristine gallery condition. Full margins; never laid down; no tears, folds, creases or foxing. This print is perfect in every way. Good bleedthrough to verso. Authenticated by HASUI signature and sui. One of the 16 prints designed by Master HASUI for Kawaguchi and Sakai. The Kawaguchi and Sakai prints are considered by most experts to be among Master HASUI's finest works, particularly the lavish snow scenes. This lovely snow scene is by the premier Shin Hanga Master. The use of sophisticated printing techniques, the gradation of colour (bokashi) and gofun, which gives the print an emossed texture and depth of image, are used extensively in this print.The brilliant white snow contrasted against the red of the temple is simply breath-taking. |
