75th Anniversary of the Weather Bureau — 中央気象台創立７５年記念

A second commemorative print tied to the 75th anniversary of the Central Meteorological Observatory (中央気象台), here catalogued under the translated title 'Weather Bureau.' The existence of multiple prints for the same anniversary reflects the common practice of producing small edition sets rather than a single commemorative sheet. This variant likely shares a subject—the observatory's Nagatacho headquarters or a weather-inflected landscape—with its companion print but differs in compositional detail or color state. Hasui's deep familiarity with depicting rain, cloud, and snow across Japan's geography made him an appropriate artist for this commission, and the atmospheric quality of these prints aligns with his celebrated landscape series.
