Kawase Hasui designed Early Summer Rain at Arakawa in 1932, and the banks of the Arakawa River have been wet ever since. Samidare, the fifth-month rain of the old lunar calendar, drops in straight carved strokes across teal water. A woman in a midnight kimono walks the gravel bank. Her obi glows faded rose. Above her, a lapis janome umbrella ringed in white holds off the whole sky.

She watches moored skiffs knock together. One cradles a mustard bundle under a pole. On the houseboat, a man leans on his elbows beside a pot of carmine blooms. Nobody hurries in tsuyu. Bokashi shading sinks the sky from pewter teal toward the far trees, where two sails lean past a chartreuse meadow.

This Shōwa-era shin-hanga woodblock print left Doi Teiichi's Tokyo shop pressed by baren into washi, slate blue and moss green soaked deep into the fibers. On this tough phone case, her umbrella stays open forever. Every call arriving under June cloud. Her reflection pools on the path of possibility.

  • Luxe art armor for your 2nd brain
  • Precise fit for your iPhone/Samsung
  • Artwork won't fade, crack or peel
  • Certified non-toxic tough case
Origin Story

Hasui Kawase (1883–1957) was Japan’s great poet of place, etching twilight rivers, temple courtyards, and snow-laden lanes into the soul of modern printmaking. A master of the shin-hanga movement, he fused ukiyo-e tradition with Western naturalism, creating nearly 1,000 woodblock prints shimmering with atmosphere, moonlight, and rain. Born in Tokyo, Hasui abandoned his family’s trade after its collapse to study art under Kiyokata Kaburagi, who gave him the name “Hasui”—“water gushing from a spring.” Collaborating with publisher Shōzaburō Watanabe, Hasui redefined landscape art for Japan’s new century. Revered abroad, crowned a Living National Treasure in 1956, his prints endure as lyrical windows into a vanishing Japan.
