The Temple Zōjōji in Shiba, Kawase Hasui poster

A high definition print reproduction of The Temple Zojoji in Shiba, from the series Twenty Views of Tokyo, by Kawase Hasui

This evocative woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Kawase Hasui captures a serene winter scene: a solitary woman, her figure mostly concealed beneath a traditional umbrella, walks through falling snow before the grand vermilion gate of Zojoji Temple in Tokyo's Shiba district.

The gate depicted is the Sangedatsumon, constructed in 1622, and recognized as the oldest wooden building in Tokyo. This piece is part of Hasui's celebrated "Twenty Views of Tokyo" series, published in 1925 by Watanabe Shozaburo. Hasui, a leading figure in the Shin-hanga ("new prints") movement, masterfully blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western-influenced realism, emphasizing atmospheric effects and natural lighting.
