"Dusk at Asō" is a 1936 woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist, Hasui Kawase. The print depicts a serene and tranquil evening scene at Asō, a volcanic caldera in Kyushu, Japan. The scene features a lone figure silhouetted against the sunset, walking towards a small hut nestled amidst trees and mountains. The soft, muted colors and delicate lines create a sense of peace and serenity, typical of Kawase's work, known for its poetic beauty and atmospheric detail. The print is a testament to Kawase's mastery of the woodblock printmaking technique and a beautiful depiction of the tranquility and natural beauty of Asō.
