This woodblock print is a Shin-Hanga (New Print) work designed by the renowned Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. The publisher’s seal indicates that it was produced by Hasegawa, one of the most famous exporters and publishers of Japanese woodblock prints. In my opinion, this print represents one of the key works in Hasegawa’s celebrated “Night Scene Series, ” which introduced the beauty of Japanese nocturnal landscapes to collectors overseas. I will be listing additional prints from this Night Scene Series in the near future, so please feel free to view my other listings.
