About the artist
Kawase Hasui (1883–1957) was a leading landscape artist of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement in early 20th-century Japan. After first training in Western-style painting, he joined the school of the nihonga painter Kaburagi Kiyokata. He then worked with the publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō for more than thirty years. Hasui is known for landscapes and cityscapes showing dawn, dusk, snow, rain and moonlight, and his best-known series are Twelve Scenes of Tokyo and Souvenirs of Travel.
