Product description
A deep, indigo silence settles over the Nagare-no-kuruwa district as night descends, rendered vividly in this print. The composition is anchored by the stark silhouettes of traditional Japanese architecture and towering pine trees against gradients of midnight blue.
About Kawase Hasui
In 1956 Hasui was named a Living National Treasure in Japan. Hasui travelled across Japan sketching quiet temples, snowy streets, moonlit lakes and rain. Japanese woodblock prints were made by carving a separate block for each colour and printing them in sequence. The original dates from 1920. Woodblock prints balance flat colour, fine line and generous empty space.
Styling this Kawase Hasui print
This Kawase Hasui print pairs a moody atmosphere with a blue palette that is easy to build a room around. Its tall format suits narrow walls, hallways and the space beside a doorway, with 18×24″ a versatile middle size. Finish this Kawase Hasui print with a natural wood frame with a cream mat: its blue palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak. This Kawase Hasui print also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller blue pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
