A beautiful and rich woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Kawase Hasui. This print titled "Mount Fuji in Moonlight, Kawai Bridge (Tsukiyo no Fuji, Kawaibashi)" was originally published in 1947 and it depicts a man heading home crossing the river on the Kawai bridge as evening descends with the majestic Mount Fuji in the background. This wonderful image is widely considered to be one of Hasui's masterworks - with the rich blue tones of nighttime and the complexly composed placement of Mount Fuji.
The woodblock print is signed Hasui and sealed Kawase, published by Watanabe Shozaburo.
A rarer and harder-to-find, very coveted image by Hasui. Would make a fantastic addition to any Japanese or Asian art/ print collection.
Hasui's work can be found in numerous prominent collections/museums including:
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Harvard Art...
