Kawase Hasui 1919 Early Summer Rain at Sanno Shrine Woodblock Poster
Kawase Hasui’s 1919 scene of early summer rain at a red shrine gate. A woman with a parasol and her small dog pass beneath the great green canopy.
Description
This Hasui woodblock captures a tender moment in the rain at Sanno Shrine, where a mother and child under one umbrella walk with their white dog. The vermilion gate glows beneath dripping summer leaves rendered in luminous green. A quintessential shin-hanga print, full of weather and quiet poetry. Lovely for anyone who loves rain, dogs and Japanese art.
