Evening Snow at Edogawa (Kure no yuki [Edogawa])

Bearing the formal Japanese title Kure no yuki [Edogawa]—dusk snow at Edogawa—this print is the primary impression of a named design within Hasui's extensive snow landscape series. The subtitle in brackets clarifies that this is the Edogawa iteration within a broader thematic grouping, suggesting it may belong to a publisher's series organizing Hasui's seasonal landscapes by location. The composition likely presents the river at the precise moment when snowfall and fading daylight reduce the scene to its most essential tonal contrasts: the near-black silhouettes of riverbank trees against a pale, bokashi-graded sky. Published by Doi, this design reflects the collaborative shin-hanga process in which Hasui provided the watercolor design, specialist craftsmen carved and printed the blocks, and the publisher managed edition size and international distribution.
