Thanks to The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints for this entry. Japanese Color Woodblock Print Samburam Rock, Kumgang Mountain from the series Eight Views of Korea by Kawase Hasui, 1939 Catalogue Raisonné Entry Source: Kawase Hasui; The Complete Woodblock Prints, Kendall Brown, Amy Reigle Newland, Amsterdam, Hotei Publishing, KIT Publishers, 2003, p. 113. Narazaki1 writes: ‘Hasui’s trip to Korea served to refresh the artist, whose art had been stagnating for some time. …The scenery and customs that Hasui witnessed in Korea marked an artistic turning point. He illustrates the bizarre shape of the Samburam rock in the Diamond mountains (Kumgangsan, in present-day Democratic People’s Republic of Korea), showcasing its imposing character. The lines of the rock are bold, the shape angular and the colour vivid.’ 1) Narazaki Muneshige, Hasui's biographer and compiler of the artist's first catalogue raisoneeé Kawase Hasui mokuhanga shu, Mainichi Shinbun, Tokyo, 1979. |
