Prints published by Kawaguchi & Sakai: Kawase Hasui

From 1925 to 1932, Hasui worked with several different publishers for reasons that were primarily economic. The sixteen prints that he designed for Kawaguchi and Sakai are considered among his finest work, especially the lavishly printed snow scenes. Each design was originally published in a limited edition of 100 prints. The edition numbers were marked on the back of the print.

Early edition Hasui prints published by Kawaguchi & Sakai are quite rare and are highly sought after by collectors. Hasui's designs were reprinted by Kawaguchi during the 1930's in several other limited editions (including edition sizes of 250 and 350). The same designs were reprinted by the publisher Shobisha in the 1950's in unlimited editions, and have been reprinted more recently by a third publisher. Many of the original blocks for these Hasui prints were recarved by the publisher Shobisha. The differences between the original and recarved blocks can sometimes be difficult to detect. However, one of Hasui's designs, Snow at Ueno Toshogu Shrine, originally published in a narrow tankazu format by Kawaguchi & Sakai, was recarved and reprinted as a larger oban print during the 1950s.
