Biography
Kawase Hasui was one of the most celebrated Japanese artists of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement, which flourished in the early decades of the 20th century. This movement aimed to renew the tradition of ukiyo-e prints by combining classical techniques with modern sensibilities and Western influences.
Born in Tokyo in 1883, Hasui initially studied traditional Japanese painting (Nihonga) under Kaburagi Kiyokata, who then encouraged him to pursue prints. In 1918 he began working with the famous publisher Shōzaburō Watanabe, a pioneer of the shin-hanga movement. This collaboration was decisive: under Watanabe's direction, Hasui created hundreds of prints that became famous for their extraordinary atmosphere and technical sophistication.
Acknowledgements
In 1956, a year before his death, Kawase Hasui was designated a National Living Treasure by the Japanese government, an award reserved for artists considered crucial to the preservation of Japan's traditional arts.
His works are now housed in major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Hasui's prints continue to influence artists and fascinate collectors for their ability to evoke a nostalgic and timeless Japan.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
“I do not paint subjective impressions. My work is based on reality...I can not falsify...(but) I can simplify…I make mental impressions of the light and color at the time of sketching. While coloring the sketch, I am already imagining the effects in a woodblock print.” — Kawase Hasui
