They came from the living estate of a prominent Charlotte, North Carolina, 103 year old woman who resided in Japan until 1940. This is not a make believe story.

Sheet size: 5 7/8" x 3 3/4" |
Hasui, Kawase (1883 - 1957) Moon Over Lake - Circa 1937. The moon is reflected off of the lake at night with trees in the foreground, an island in the center and two people in a boat approaching the island. There is a signature mark lower right in the print and the name "Hasui" written in pencil on the matte - lower right. An additional notation written on the dust cover probably written by the framer. This is a small format woodblock. The frame is 13" by 8 1/4" and the image is 6 1/4" by 4". |
