Details
It’s early autumn when the hint of color is just a blush on the treetops. The profound quiet is broken for only a moment by the fluttering of birds overhead. Shadows spill into the shrine’s entrance marking the way for guests. This is a scene only Hasui could produce. In the design’s tranquility we find a profound sense of beauty.
Connoisseur's Note
This print is a true time capsule. It was never framed or displayed and was stored in archival boxes. Prints in this pristine condition seldom come up for sale. This is an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a stunning Hasui design with fresh and vivid colors in its original state
