Remaining Snow at Inokashira 1920

"Remaining Snow at Inokashira" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Hasui Kawase, created in 1920. This artwork showcases Kawase's mastery of the shin-hanga ("new print") style, characterized by its meticulous detail and vibrant color palette. The print depicts a serene winter scene, with a tranquil lake reflecting a pale sky. The snow-covered shores are accented by the warm golden hues of reeds, contrasting with the deep blue of the water. A lone bird glides across the surface, adding a sense of tranquility to the composition. This piece, like many of Kawase's works, captures the beauty of the Japanese landscape, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its peaceful atmosphere.
