Original woodblock print, Published by Doi Eiichi - Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) - "Fuyu no tsuki (Toyamagahara) " 冬の月戸山ヶ原 (Winter moon, Toyamagahara) - Heisei period (1989-2019)

Note: Kawase Hasui (川瀬巴水1883 – 1957) was a Japanese artist. He was one of the most prominent print designers of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement.

Regarded as a major Japanese landscape artist of the 20th century, Hasui’s prints are characterized by their serenity of mood and flawless composition. While his landscapes are markedly modern, these shin hanga prints yearn for a Japan past. The finest prints and drawings of this period have a unique and immediate appeal that rests upon traditional virtues of delicacy, poise and restraint.
