Lot 159: Kawase Hasui Print

Estimate: $400 – $600

Shin Hanga print by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), “Snow at Zozoji Temple at Shiba”. Signed with seal mark “Hasui”. Published by Wantanabe between 1931 and 1941 (original edition was published 1925). This print has foxing, toning and fading, but the gauffrage can be observed on the umbrella and some snow. This was by far Hasui’s most favored print.
