Contains 100 large, full colour illustrations which embody the enormous variety of snow, moon and rain scenes for which Hasui is so well known.
Preface, Introduction, and Essay about Hasui (totaling 24 pages of text) by Kendal Brown offer a comprehensive understanding of both the "shin-hanga" movement and Hasui's extensive contributions to this artform. A wonderful reference on Hasui--if you can only afford one reference of Hasui's works, consider this one to own. (Learn more.)
