Enlarged picture

A cold winter's day, with a deep blue sky. Snow is falling over the snow-covered Miyajima shrine on the island of Itsukushima.

Excellent impression on strong de luxe paper. Fresh and perfect colours, perfect condition (in the upper part just a few weak creases, nearly not to be seen, and at the back side tiny reamains of a former backing).

A masterpiece of graphic works of art. One of the best and rarest snow scenes by Hasui, a pre-earthquake print !

Hotei No 57; Toledo catalogue 1930, No 50.
