Spring Dusk at the Tōshō Shrine in Ueno 1948

"Spring Dusk at the Tōshō Shrine in Ueno" is a woodblock print created in 1948 by renowned Japanese artist Kawase Hasui. The print showcases the five-storied pagoda of the Tōshō Shrine, partially obscured by the delicate blossoms of a cherry tree. Hasui's mastery of color and detail brings the quiet beauty of a spring evening in Tokyo to life, with the pale moon and distant stars adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. This print is a prime example of Hasui's signature style, known for its serene landscapes and evocative portrayal of Japanese culture.
