Description
Creating atmospheric prints of Japanese architecture and landscapes, Kawase Hasui made a name for himself as one of modern Japan's most prominent and recognizable printmakers. Bold images and clear lines show the influence of Western realistic art and differentiate his prints from those of his contemporaries. A gentle snowfall speaks quietly of winter in this stunning woodblock print.
Museum Story
The National Museum of Asian Art is a global resource for understanding Asian arts, cultures, and societies and their intersection with the United States. Opened in 1923 as the country's first national art museum, it now stewards one of the world's best collections of Asian art, which date from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Ancient Near East, and the Islamic world (including Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also holds an important array of 19th- and early 20th-century American art of the Aesthetic Movement.
