Details
A gentle rain descends on an autumnal landscape while the fisherman inches closer to the shore. In this impression, Hasui demonstrates to the viewer the subtle but striking effects that make woodblock prints so desirable among collectors. This impression, with its soft and sensitive printing, quite effectively reproduces the changing atmosphere occurring in this scene. The viewer is left to collect one’s thoughts on the impressive printing effects as the gentle rain continues to fall.
Connoisseur's Note
This print is a true time capsule. Prints in this pristine condition seldom come up for sale. This is an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a stunning Hasui design with fresh and vivid colors in its original state.
