The New Eight Best Scenery of Japan - Fantastic chuban-sized version of a Hasui series originally published by Bijutsusha in the late 1920s. These striking prints feature beautiful views of traditional Japanese landscapes, rendered with fine detail, sophisticated color, and soft bokashi shading like the originals. This rare chuban set was issued in 1974 by the Ukiyo-e Hanga Publishing Society. Lifetime, oban impressions of these subjects are extremely rare, so these smaller versions are a wonderful opportunity to acquire a lovely Hasui design.

Muroto Promontory, Tosa - Striking view of the Muroto Promontory in Tosa Province, with waves crashing against the base of the imposing rock. This area of the coastline is noted for its rocky beauty and Hasui's depiction captures the dramatic contrast of stone rising above the shimmering water. Low clouds scud along the horizon as evening falls and the sky darkens. A beautiful Hasui design that would make a wonderful framed display.
