{"product_id":"snow-edo-river-blue-hasui","title":"Snow at Edo River, Blue Version – Kawase Hasui Print (1932)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwo women, a bridge, and falling snow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNight is drawing in over the Edo River. Two women, sheltered under their umbrellas, cross a wooden bridge as the snow keeps falling, while the windows of the houses along the bank glow faintly in the dark. Everything here is blue: the water, the sky, the snow itself, in one of Kawase Hasui's most atmospheric winter scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe blue version of a celebrated design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHasui created \u003cem\u003eKure no yuki, Edogawa\u003c\/em\u003e in 1932 for the publisher Doi. The design exists in two distinct colourways: a full-colour version, in which the women's winter coats stand out in warm tones, and this blue version, in which almost the whole image is bathed in deep indigo. The blue treatment recalls the \u003cem\u003eaizuri-e\u003c\/em\u003e, the blue prints beloved of Edo-period artists, and turns the scene into something close to a nocturne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA master of snow and night\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKawase Hasui (1883–1957) is the leading landscape artist of the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/blogs\/news\/the-history-of-japanese-prints-from-ukiyo-e-to-shin-hanga\"\u003eshin-hanga movement\u003c\/a\u003e, and his snow scenes and night views are his most admired works. Here he combines both, and adds the detail that gives the print its soul: two silhouettes walking away, in the silence of the falling snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works so well on a wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts deep, enveloping blues make this print a natural choice for a bedroom, a living room or an office in need of calm. It pairs beautifully with pale wood, cream walls, and any interior built around blue tones. Frame it in light oak to soften it, or in black to intensify the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kawase Hasui (1883–1957)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese title:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kure no yuki (Edogawa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1932\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal:\u003c\/strong\u003e color woodblock print, vertical ōban format\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOur print:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality reproduction on museum-grade matte paper (not an original woodblock print)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer warmer colours?
