The story of Snow at Zōjō-ji Temple

Kawase Hasui's 1925 print from his celebrated Twenty Views of Tokyo series — a woman in a red kimono with a paper umbrella crosses the white-blanketed courtyard of Zōjō-ji, the great Tokyo temple whose vermilion Sanmon gate rises into the snowy night. The most-pinned print of the shin-hanga era; Hasui became Japan's most beloved 20th-century landscape printmaker on the strength of these calm, immaculately atmospheric views.

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.
