| Notes (1st edition) | KAWASE HASUI Aoba Castle, Sendai from the series estate of Scenic Views of Japan, Eastern Japan Edition Date: originally published December 1933; Size: approx. 10.5" x 15.5" Documentation: Kawase Hasui -- The Complete Woodblock Prints, Hotei, 2003, page 442 print #305 ABOUT AOBA CASTLE Aoba Castle was built in 1600 by the powerful feudal lord Date Masamune. Because of considerations for the castle's defense, Masamune chose to locate his fortifications on Mount Aoba, 100 meters above the town below. In the last 400 years the castle endured the anti-feudal fervor of the Meiji era, a giant fire in 1882 and the carpet bombing of 1945. Now all that is left of the castle are remnants of the outer stone walls and a guard tower. | ||||||

Saturday, 29 October 2005 From the famous R.O. Muller collection of which I have been listing prints for the last 5 years. I don't get many Hasui to auction. This has the 6mm Watanabe seal lower left. I think this is the first time it's been offered on Ebay for sale. Oban sized, mint condition. |
