Original Hasui (1883 - 1957) Japanese Woodblock Kegon Waterfall, Nikko, 1930 Kegon Waterfall, Nikko, 1930 Beautiful, rare Hasui prints- In 1930 the Haibara Fan Shop in Tokyo commissioned Hasui to create a beautiful set of 12 prints to be published by the Kato Publisher. In keeping with their status as a fan shop, the prints were presented in folders with a fan shaped window through which one could view Hasui's work. To fit the fan motif, and as an interesting departure from Hasui's normal oban format, the prints were designed in the square "shikishiban" format (9 3/4" x 9 1/2"). The resulting set of 12 prints was a beautiful addition to Hasui's artistic works. The various scenes were created in Hasui's recognizable style but are print images rarely seen on the market. Haibara intended that these Hasui prints would be rare collector's items and directed that they would be printed in a strictly limited edition of 200 sets. The print sets were very well-received and immediately sold out to serious collectors. Due to the popularity and high acclaim of this series, after Hasui's death, his daughter commissioned a second edition strictly limited to 200 prints. As collectors knew that the original prints were almost never found in the market, this second limited edition sold out immediately, also. At Fuji Arts we are very excited to offer these Hasui prints this evening in our auctions. Browse this exciting collection. If you're a Hasui collector or you are interested in acquiring some fine, rare Hasui prints. This is a wonderful opportunity. Bid now! A side note; Our Hasui prints from the Haibara commissioned series are in perfect condition overall. This is important to note as, unfortunately, the original first edition release of this set are, more often then not, "mat burned" with a fan shaped stain over the subject from the original acidic 1930s folders. Our prints are in the second edition folders which are made of the cotton rag material and have not affected the prints in any way.
