An old pine tree at the pond in the rain, in the night darkness getting deeper. This artwork is inspired by Hiroshige's one of Omi Hakkei, "Night Rain in Karasaki". Created in December 1937. An anxiety about the war gradually spreading at the time slightly appears.
Good condition, color and impression
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) was born in Tokyo. His real name is Monjiro. He was taught by Kaneki Kiyotaka and he led the Shin Hanga Undo movement hand in hand with Keneki Kiyotaka. He always pursued innovative beauties in his artworks. He traveled around Japan and created artworks depicting beautiful seasonal landscapes which are highly rated in Japan and overseas. His use of bright colors such as indigo blue and his original deep blue cannot be seen in other artists' prints. Hasui's artworks have a magical charm of the colors and nostalgic feelings and they deeply touch viewers' heatstrings.
