Spring in Arashiyama - Kawase Hasui Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Spring in Arashiyama glows through nine slender red pine trunks, each column of bark cut deep by Kawase Hasui's chisel in 1934, the year shin-hanga printmaking reached its clearest maturity under Watanabe Shōzaburō's studio. Beyond the trunks, the Katsura River widens into a pale jade sheet, its current rendered in the fine bokashi gradation that made Hasui's Kyoto river scenes famous among Taishō-era print collectors.
A covered pleasure boat drifts near the far bank, a lone boatman poling passengers beneath its low thatched roof, a quiet echo of Arashiyama's old ferry trade along the Sagano hills. Cherry blossoms crowd the lower foreground in dense white clusters, sakura petals catching gold light against ochre-washed sky that Hasui layered by hand on mulberry paper. And pine needles hang in green tufts overhead, framing the water like a woodblock lattice.
This is spring caught between bark and blossom, a Kyoto riverbank pressed into ukiyo-e's twentieth-century inheritance, where nature printmaking and quiet human labor share one unhurried frame.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
