Snow at Hinoeda Shrine 1931

"Snow at Hinoeda Shrine" is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Kawase Hasui in 1931. The print depicts a snowy scene with a Shinto shrine in the center, highlighted by its red and gold accents. Two figures with umbrellas walk across the snow-covered path, creating a sense of tranquility and solitude. Hasui, known for his evocative landscapes, captures the beauty of a winter scene in Japan, showcasing the subtle details of the falling snow and the serenity of the shrine grounds. This work embodies the style of shin-hanga (new prints), a movement emphasizing fine art prints produced during the Showa period in Japan.
