Description : "Zozoji Temple in Snow" -1929 Print size 11.5" x 16.5" (Full Oban) Post-War Strike ORIGINAL Pristine gallery condition. Full margins; never laid down; no tears, folds, creases or foxing. This print is perfect in every way. Good bleedthrough to verso. Authenticated by HASUI signature and sui. One of the 16 prints designed by Master HASUI for Kawaguchi and Sakai. The Kawaguchi and Sakai prints are considered by most experts to be among Master HASUI's finest works, particularly the lavish snow scenes. This lovely snow scene is by the premier Shin Hanga Master. The use of sophisticated printing techniques, the gradation of colour (bokashi) and gofun, which gives the print an emossed texture and depth of image, are used extensively in this print.The brilliant white snow contrasted against the red of the temple is simply breath-taking.
