Hasui - Moon over the Arakawa River

Hasui - Moon over the Arakawa River

Kawase Hasui

Moon over the Arakawa River, Akabane from the series "Twenty Views of Tokyo" (Tokyo nijukei, Arakawa no tsuki, Akabane). This early-edition woodblock print, shows the Arakawa River in the late evening from the river bank in Akabane. A light is on in the house by the river and a woman carrying a small child walks by. The moon casts it's light on the river and a fishing boat. Print title is written and print is signed by Hasui in pencil. There are no Watanabe seals on this print.

A near-identical print, also dated 1929, was sold at Christie’s, Japanese and Korean Art 18 March 2014, New York, lot 449 (sold for 6,000 USD).

We don't deal in many Hasui prints, so we are not experts in dating them. Our research shows this print was published by Watanabe Shozaburo around 1929. Feel free to email us with more details if you have them.
