Hasui Kawase
Hasui Kawase (1883-1957) was a woodblock print artist active from the Taisho to Showa periods. At a time when modernization was sweeping over the country and towns and landscapes were undergoing rapid changes, Kawase traveled around the country in search of original Japanese landscapes, depicting seasonal landscapes where the lives of ordinary people still lived. Along with Kawase, the path of woodblock print production was taken by artisans such as Shozaburo Watanabe (now the founder of Watanabe Mokuhanga), an engraver, and printer, who promoted "shin-hanga," a new generation of woodblock prints. The four parties worked together as one and sought to utilize more advanced techniques while continuing to use traditional techniques. They continued challenging themselves to create new colors and expressions and became famous as the driving force behind the "new prints."
This exhibition introduces the life of Kawase, also known as the "traveler's poet" for his rich expression of the seasons, weather, and the transitions of time, along with representative works from his early years to his later years. The exhibition features approximately 180 works, including a series of paintings that are rarely seen together, and invites viewers to enter the lyrical world of Hasui Kawase.
