The story of Magome
Kawase Hasui's 1930 woodblock view of Magome, one of the old post-stations on the Nakasendō highway that linked Edo and Kyoto. A full yellow moon rises behind a single tall pine and a thatched house, the field below striped by the long rows of a tea plantation. One of the quietest of Hasui's landscapes and a perfect example of shin-hanga's atmospheric mastery.
Kawase Hasui
Hasui Kawase was a Japanese artist who was one of 20th century Japan's most important and prolific printmakers. He was a prominent designer of the shin-hanga movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects with a style influenced by yōga . Like many earlier ukiyo-e prints, Hasui's works were commonly landscapes, but displayed atmospheric effects and natural lighting.
