Kawase Hasui: A collection of 671 etchings (HD)
Description: "Shin-hanga artist Kawase Hasui was born as Kawase Bunjiro in Tokyo, Japan on May 18, 1883.
From youth Kawase Bunjiro dreamed of an art career, he received help in studying painting in 1897 from Aoyanagi Bokusen and in 1902 from Araki Kan'yu but his parents had him take on the family silk braiding and thread wholesaling business. Its bankruptcy when he was 26 freed him to pursue art.
He approached Kiyokata Kaburagi to teach him, but Kaburagi, instead encouraged him to study Western-style painting, which he did with Okada Saburōsuke for two years. Two years later he again applied as a student to Kaburagi, who this time accepted him and later gave him the name Hasui. Here Hasui studied ukiyo-e and mainly concentrated on making watercolors of actors, everyday life and landscapes, many of them published as illustrations in books and magazines in the last few years of the Meiji period and early Taishō period
After seeing an exhibition of Shinsui Ito's Eight Views of Lake Biwa Hasui approached Shinsui's publisher Shozaburō Watanabe, who had Hasui make three experimental prints that Watanabe published in August 1918.The series Twelve Views of Tokyo, Eight Views of the Southeast, and the first Souvenirs of Travel of 16 prints followed in 1919, each issued two prints at a time.
Hasui's twelve-print A Collection of Scenes of Japan begun in 1922 went unfinished when the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake destroyed both Hasui’s house as well as Watanabe's workshop, including the finished woodblocks for the yet-undistributed prints and Hasui's sketchbooks. Watanabe then financed him to go on a sketching trip to produce more series. Hasui travelled the Hokuriku, San'in, and San'yo regions later in 1923 and upon his return in February 1924 developed his sketches into his third Souvenirs of Travel series.
During the Pacific War, during which he lost his home in Tokyo a second time from airstrikes, he spent much time back in Shiobara. After the war he was used by the Government to represent a gentler side of Japan in tourist publications, and in 1953 his 'Zojoji in Snow' was commissioned as an 'Intangible Cultural Asset' to represent the co-operative skills of the traditional print method. During his career he produced over 600 landscape prints, including seventeen series, covering most areas of Japan, which he constantly travelled.
During the forty years of his artistic career, Hasui worked closely with Shozaburo Watanabe, publisher and advocate of the shin-hanga movement. His works became widely known in the West through American connoisseur Robert O. Muller. In 1956, he was named a Living National Treasure in Japan.
Kawase Hasui died in Japan on November 7, 1957 after a battle with cancer."

Etchings are a different process, where the ink rests in the lines scored into the plate, below the surface, and is wiped off the surface (intaglio print). These are all block prints, where the ink sits on the surface which is not cut away (relief print). They are fine examples of the Shin Hanga movement of the early to mid 20th C. But thanks for posting, there are many Hasui prints here I had not seen.

[@artistocracy]

His compositions are extraordinary! And the beauty is breathtaking. Wow! I’m an artist myself and am completely enthralled yet shall watch this in segments due to the overwhelming visually 😊after about 10 or 20 paintings.

[@thechikuwa284]

These are all woodcuts and lithographs. To print a single picture, he carved several pieces of wood or stone and layered colors on top of each other. Even after he lost his family, his place of residence, and many of his sketches in the great earthquake, he continued to paint the city as it was being rebuilt. These prints are imbued with a deep love and soul for what is lost and what is born anew.

[@ashleystearns2486]

Each is exceptional and lovely. Many more than a few are stunning in their beauty. Thank you.

[@deanmcmanis9398]

This collection of Hasui woodblock prints shows how talented and prolific an artist that he was. He is one of my favorite Shin Hanga artists, and he had such a good eye for design, composition, color which lead to these compelling prints. If it was my collection, I would separate the smaller, card sized prints, and put them at the end. Plus I would have all of the horizontal pics first, so that you wouldn't be distracted by size/resolution and format changes throughout the slideshow.

[@yan-eva56]

Thank you.

[@JibberJabJones]

i recommend x0.5 or x0.45 custom speed to have enough time to really take them in. also, thank you so much for not insisting on slow youtube slideshow-style zoom changes.

[@jawbee7]

Very pleasing composition.

[@truongcahanh8915]

It’s a shame that not many works Japanese artists have reached a worldwide audience. Kawase Hasui's works should be at least as well known as Hokusai.

[@jrjubach]

Trường Ca Hành yep, in fact, I like Hasui better than Hokusai.

[@mannic.5857]

Wunderschön :)

[@inekeschilderlessen]

zo mooi,dank

[@Typesticker1860]

They are not etchings, but Japanese color woodblock prints. There are also many other printmakers represented, I guess there is no truth in advertising.

[@missmatch9058]

....oh damn. Yes I thought it was woodblock prints!

[@lurtzuruk-hai2595]

Te amo

[@jeff__w]

品が無いのです

[@13ichirouyuukijun15]

日本の景勝地を廻って見るとよい。

[@richardteale3217]

Clearly NOT etchings…….please get your facts in order. Lovely relief prints.

[@crowold3025]

During the Meiji and Taisho eras when these paintings were created, Japan was poorer than India and Southeast Asia. Even though the Japanese were poor, they were creative in their efforts to maintain clean conditions and the environment.
