Kawase Hasui Kyodomari Hizen Coastal Village 1928 Woodblock Poster
Black thatched rooftops meet a sparkling blue sea in this 1928 coastal scene. Hasui’s bold contrasts make Kyodomari one of his most striking seaside prints.
Description
This woodblock print shows the fishing village of Kyodomari in Hizen with dark roofs set against a bright bay and distant mountains. Chickens peck in the courtyard while clouds drift over the water. A vivid example of shin-hanga at its most graphic and fresh.
