| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Hiroshige's specialty was landscapes. "Hasui Kawase (川瀬 巴水, Kawase Hasui?, May 18, 1883 - November 7, 1957) was a prominent Japanese painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and one of the chief printmakers in the shin hanga ("new prints") movement. Kawase studied ukiyo-e and Japanese style painting at the studio of Kaburagi Kiyokata. He mainly concentrated on making watercolors of actors, everyday life and landscapes, many of them published as illustrations in books and magazines in the last few years of the Meiji period and early Taishō period. In the early Taishō period Kawase was recruited by the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, with the intention to design works for woodblock prints. Kawase left a large body of woodblock prints and watercolors. Many of the watercolors are linked to the woodblock prints, he also produced oil paintings, traditional hanging scrolls and a few byōbu (folding screens). In the West, Kawase is mainly known as a Japanese woodblock printmaker. He and Hiroshi Yoshida are widely regarded as two of the greatest artists of the shin hanga style, and are known especially for their landscape prints."--Wikipedia. |
