FIRST STATE! 1931 Kawase Hasui Ushibori Snow Original Japanese Woodblock Print

Watanabe seal in lower right margin. 15 -1/4 x 10 -1/4. Narazaki comments:’ A view of the ferry at Ushibori, this horizontally oriented print illustrates the river and the distant bank. In this winter scene in a lonely riverside district, a ferryman rows towards the opposite bank during a blizzard with a sole passenger on board. The mood of this scene is expressed through the aizuri-e ["blue-printed picture"] technique’. Please view our other listings of Japanese Woodblock Prints!
