“These attractively slipcased volumes, formatted
to enable the user to view the plate while reading
the pertinent commentary and data, are
something that all collectors and admirers of
Hasui will want to own.”
Peter Dailey in Impressions
“These two sumptuous volumes must surely be
the very last word on the best known of all Shin
Hanga print designers, the landscape artist
Kawase Hasui (1883-1957). (…) The meticulous
scholarship of this catalogue is a fitting tribute to
half a century of patient craftmanship and
atmospheric scene scetting.”
Joe Earle in The Art Newspaper
