How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
The Hasui Zojoji Temple print remains a pivotal work within the Shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Created in 1925, this composition captures the quiet solemnity of the Zojoji Temple during a thick snowfall. The deep vermilion of the temple architecture provides a sharp chromatic contrast against the muted, charcoal-toned sky and the white of the settling snow.
Historical Background of Hasui Zojoji Temple
Kawase Hasui was a leading figure in the revitalization of Japanese woodblock printing. The Hasui Zojoji Temple series reflects his dedication to capturing the atmosphere of place over mere structural accuracy. Zojoji, located in the Shiba area of Tokyo, served as the family temple of the Tokugawa Shogunate. In this 1925 depiction, Hasui focuses on the Sangedatsumon, the only part of the original temple complex to survive various historical fires and conflicts. This Hasui Zojoji Temple reproduction allows modern viewers to appreciate the architectural resilience of the site through a classical lens.
Artistic Elements and Shin-hanga Scenery Art
This Japanese woodblock print utilizes a perspective that emphasizes the scale of the temple gate. A single figure, clad in a traditional kimono and shielded by a bamboo umbrella, walks away from the viewer. This inclusion adds a human element to the vast, cold scenery, suggesting a sense of quiet solitude common in Kawase Hasui snow scene works. The weight of the snow on the pine tree branches in the foreground is rendered with thick, white applications that suggest depth and physical mass.
The colors in this Hasui Zojoji Temple print are applied with deliberate precision. The transition from the dark, speckled sky to the bright, snow-covered roofs requires a sophisticated understanding of ink saturation. Unlike earlier ukiyo-e prints, the Shin-hanga style emphasizes natural lighting and the play of shadows. The soft glow emanating from within the temple suggests an interior life, contrasting with the frigid exterior conditions.
