I appreciate your courtesy! Dusk at Phoenix Hall (Hôôduôin no bosatsu)????? Date: 1951 (Showa nijûrokunen saku) and depicts s. Now falling at the last light of day on the Phoenix Hall near Kyoto. Hasui chose to create this work in sepia tones, perhaps increasing the feeling of nostalgia for a simpler time. The variety of tones and the different shapes of every snowflake help to create a wonderfully atmospheric design. There is also a very light blue block that has been printed on the areas of deeper snow to add depth. For reasons unknown this is a scarce design, and almost never comes up for sale in this first edition. The condition is described above for more information please check the photos. Image 9 ½ inches x 14 ¼ inches. Sheet 10 ½ inches x 15? More about the artist. Kawase’s landscapes are markedly modern, yet they yearn for a Japan past and rest upon traditional virtues of delicacy, poise and restraint. Hasui loved to travel and would often paint watercolors of Japan’s most beautiful places. In 1952, the Japanese government officially recognized Kawase Hasui as a Living National Treasure. Hasui Kawase was a Shin Hanga artist who lived from 1883 until 1957. He is most known for his wide range of landscape woodblocks of exquisite colour, perspective and ambiance. During his Life he created over 600 different woodblock scenes. He was honored with the title of a Living National Treasure. Most of his woodblocks were published by Watanabe, but he also had some of his work published by other companies including by Isetatsu, Bijutsusha, Kawaguchi and Sakai, Tokyo Shobido and Doi Teiichi.
