Kiso River, Inuyama, from the. Series “The New Eight Views of Japan”. Signed “Hasui” with red artist’s seal “Kawase”. Traditional Japanese woodblock print (ink and color on washi paper). 27 × 19.5 cm (10.63 × 7.68 inches). Condition: Shows slight signs of age, overall in good condition. Excellent with beautiful color and fine detail. The Kiso River at Inuyama presents one of central Japan’s most celebrated landscapes, where historic Inuyama Castle rises gracefully atop a hill overlooking the tranquil river. As evening falls, birds wheel across the violet sky while a solitary boat glides quietly along the water, creating a scene of remarkable serenity. The textured rocky shoreline in the foreground echoes the wooded hills beyond, adding depth and balance to the composition. Through delicate bokashi gradations, rich pigments, and subtle lighting, Hasui masterfully captures the peaceful atmosphere and poetic beauty of the Japanese countryside. This fine early Showa impression is admired for its exceptional printing quality and beautifully expresses the timeless elegance that defines Hasui’s finest landscape prints. This print is a later edition of the New Eight Views of Japan, published by the Ukiyo-e Print Publishing Association. It preserves the refined composition and superb craftsmanship of the original designs while reflecting the excellent printing quality characteristic of the early Showa period. He went on to become the foremost master of the Shin-hanga movement, producing more than 600 landscape prints over a career spanning nearly four decades. Hasui’s works are celebrated for their poetic atmosphere, masterful use of light and shadow, and subtle bokashi gradations. His distinctive blue tones-often referred to by collectors as “Hasui Blue”-beautifully convey the mood of water, sky, mist, and evening light. Fine impressions from the early Showa period are especially admired for their rich colors, delicate gradations, and exceptional printing quality that perfectly express Hasui’s artistic vision. The Eight Views Lake Towada – A tranquil composition capturing the mysterious beauty of the lake’s deep blue waters, often admired as the enchanting Towada Blue. Kiso River – The majestic Kiso River flowing beneath Inuyama Castle, expressing the harmony between history and nature. Kegon Falls – One of Japan’s most celebrated waterfalls, rendered with dramatic depth and the refreshing spray of cascading water. Kamikochi – A peaceful view of Taisho Pond with its standing dead trees and the quiet grandeur of the Japanese Alps. Cape Muroto – Rugged coastal cliffs and unusual rock formations meet the calm Pacific Ocean in a scene of striking natural beauty. Mount Unzen – Morning light and moist mountain air are delicately expressed through Hasui’s masterful color gradations. Karikachi Pass – A sweeping snowy landscape overlooking the vast Tokachi Plain, conveying the grandeur of Hokkaido. Kankaiji Hot Springs – The nostalgic charm of Beppu’s hillside hot spring town, softly enveloped in mist and gentle rain. We sell only authentic traditional Japanese hand-printed woodblock prints, including later re-carved or later edition works. We do not handle modern machine-made prints, offset prints, or modern printed copies of any kind. All prints in our store are genuine te-zuri (hand-printed) woodblock prints, carefully hand-printed by skilled Japanese artisans using traditional Ukiyo-e techniques on authentic Japanese washi paper. The visible pigment bleed-through on the reverse side is a natural characteristic of hand printing and a clear sign that this is not a reproduction or machine-made print. Please refer to the photos for the item’s condition. We strive to photograph and describe the condition as accurately as possible. However, perceptions of condition may vary depending on individual standards.
