📗👉 #BookRecommendation: I just received a beautiful book that contains a summary of #KawaseHasui’s #ShinHanga prints:

✍️ Kawase Hasui – Woodblock Print Collection (川瀬巴水木版画集), published in 2017 by Abe Shuppan, ISBN: 9784872424485.”

It’s an incredible Japanese collection that showcases his mastery of woodblock prints.

@metaning The captions are bilingual: Japanese/English. All other text is in Japanese only. But that's not too bad, as the book is more of a collection of #Kawase's prints and doesn't contain extended background information.
