Product description
Rain falls in diagonal sheets across the indigo waters of the canal. This print captures the quiet solitude of a Tokyo district through the masterful lens of Kawase Hasui. A dark wooden bridge spans the waterway where flat-bottomed boats rest against the stone embankments.
About Kawase Hasui
Kawase Hasui (1883–1957) was a leading artist of shin-hanga, the 20th-century revival of Japanese woodblock printing. Hasui travelled across Japan sketching quiet temples, snowy streets, moonlit lakes and rain. Ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige influenced European Impressionists. A finished woodblock print could require a dozen or more separately carved blocks.
Styling this Kawase Hasui print
Blue tones give this Kawase Hasui print a moody character that holds a room. Choose 24×36″ to make “Shinagawa in Rain” the focal point above a console, or 11×14″ to 16×20″ for a bedside or hallway wall. Finish “Shinagawa in Rain” with a natural wood frame with a cream mat: its blue palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak. For a gallery wall, pair “Shinagawa in Rain” with two or three smaller blue prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
