Product description
A quiet hush descends over the Sumida River as heavy snowflakes drift through a slate-gray sky, coating the riverbanks in a thick blanket of white. This print captures a moment of profound stillness, where the only movement is the gentle descent of winter over the water and the dark wooden architecture of the shore.
About Kawase Hasui
Hasui travelled across Japan sketching quiet temples, snowy streets, moonlit lakes and rain. In 1956 Hasui was named a Living National Treasure in Japan. Woodblock prints’ calm compositions suit bedrooms, studies and minimalist interiors. Japanese woodblock prints were made by carving a separate block for each colour and printing them in sequence.
Styling this Kawase Hasui print
This Kawase Hasui print has a moody presence that sets the tone of a room. Hang “Kawase Snow at Shirahige” above a sofa, sideboard or bed: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. Finish “Kawase Snow at Shirahige” with a natural wood frame with a cream mat for a clean, gallery-style look. “Kawase Snow at Shirahige” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
