Spring Evening at Inokashira Park 1931

"Spring Evening at Inokashira Park" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Hasui Kawase, created in 1931. This piece depicts a tranquil scene of a moonlit evening in the park, with trees reflecting in the still waters of a pond. The print's serene atmosphere and use of cool blue tones evoke the peaceful beauty of a Japanese spring night. The careful rendering of the trees and the gentle ripples on the water are characteristic of Kawase's mastery of the shin-hanga style, a revival of traditional Japanese woodblock printing.
