Kawase Hasui Wall Calendar: Kawase Hasuis woodblock prints brought the world romantic views of early twentieth-century Japan. Originally a watercolorist, Hasui (Japanese, 18831957) partnered with enterprising publisher Watanabe Shozaburo, and in so doing helped establish the shin hanga (new prints) movement, which combined the ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) tradition with Western styles. The resulting landscapes retain a distinct feeling of time, place, and season. The shin hanga movement began around 1915, just a few years before Hasui began his work with Shozaburo. By 1930, an exhibition at the Toledo Museum of Art announced shin hanga prints to the American public. Each print in this calendar was part of that landmark exhibition.Wall Calendar12-month Calendar13" X 12"Stapled BindingMedium Rectangle GridObserves Major Holidays
