Hasui Kawase Print: Snow at Hakone Gongen

Hasui Kawase is considered one of the great masters of Shin-hanga, a 20th Century Japanese art movement which revitalised the traditional ukiyo-e style rooted in the Edo and Meiji periods. Influenced by European Impressionism, Shin-hanga incorporated Western elements such as atmospheric effects and natural lighting.

But a twist: Hasui’s 1949 painting of snow at the entrance to Kanagawa’s famous Hakone Shrine has been updated for Foundland, now with a curious black cat at the scene.

This is a fine art giclée print on 200gsm matte Japanese art paper.
