Kawase Hasui Boxed Notecards

Among the leading printmakers of the day was Kawase Hasui (Japanese, 1883–1957), whose specialty was exquisitely rendered landscape scenes. Often on the road in search of inspiration, Hasui brought his watercolor sketches to the printing studio of the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, where they were transformed into woodblock prints by a skillful team. The precision of the artist’s renderings is matched only by their poetic repose.

Twenty assorted 5 x 7 in. blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box.
