An expansive scene facing the unusual peak of the Unzen volcano across the sea in the distance, this print is a fine example in this series’. Due to the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 – which destroyed almost two-thirds of Tokyo – Hasui moved near the Magome district in 1926 and in 1930 to Magome itself, where he lived until his death. Surprisingly, the number of prints that Hasui created illustrating the surroundings of Magome are not great, although he did keep sketchbooks that portrayed scenes of the area.

JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT “WINTER” BY TOSHI YOSHIDA. FRANKLIN MINT “BIRDS OF THE SEASONS” SERIES. The print is titled “Winter” Japanese title “Sekisetsu no Hakagei ni” translates to “Sitting Under Snow-Covered Leaves”. It’s part of a 4-print series titled “Birds of the Seasons”, commissioned by the Franklin Mint Gallery of Fine Art in 1980 and published by the Yoshida family studio. The image depicts a Daurian Redstart bird (which migrates to Japan every winter) perched in a snow-covered Aoki bush with bright red berries.
