Evening at Tagonoura — Tago no Ura no Yuu
Artist: Kawase Hasui
Name: Evening at Tagonoura — Tago no Ura no Yuu
Date: 1940
Description: One of Hasui’s most famous and favorite prints from his Fuji Series – this one entitled “Evening at Tago-No-Ura”. It is a lovely early evening scene of a farmer slowly wending his way to his barn with a full wagon load of hay on a horse drawn cart. The farmer is seen silhouetted between a stand of tall pine trees – with the always magnificent Mount Fuji in the distance lighted by the late afternoon sun. This print, made originally in 1940, was published by Watanabe – who is best known for publishing the majority of Hasui’s prints.
