Details
In Hasui's woodblock print titled "Yakumo Bridge at the Nagata Shrine, Kobe," a serene winter tableau unfolds under the veil of falling snow. Dominating the center of the composition, the vibrant red fence of the temple slices through the snowy landscape, offering a bold contrast against the ethereal white backdrop. Amidst this wintry scene, a woman adorned in traditional attire, adorned in a resplendent kimono and sheltered beneath an umbrella, traverses the snowy path with graceful determination. Her presence adds a touch of human warmth to the tranquil landscape as she bravely journeys through the falling snow. Above, a canopy of trees laden with snow drapes over the scene, casting a serene ambiance over the surroundings. Beyond the temple's confines, nestled residences peek out, adding to the charm of the winter vista.
Connoisseur's Note
This print bears the round 6mm Watanabe seal at the lower left corner, indicating it’s a post-war impression. The print is in excellent condition with fresh and vibrant colors and no problems to note.
