Description
This print is catalogued with the qualifier "Similar to," indicating an attribution based on stylistic or compositional resemblance rather than confirmed documentation. The subject, Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) in Kyoto, appears among Hasui's documented subjects during the 1930s; the three-storey gilt pavilion reflected in Kyoko-chi pond was a standard meisho-e subject that Hasui would have treated with his characteristic seasonal atmospheric conditions—possibly snow, autumn foliage, or clear winter light. Without confirmed title documentation, the 1930s date range is estimated from stylistic evidence. Verification against the Watanabe Shozaburo catalogue raisonné or the catalogues of other publishers Hasui worked with during that period would confirm the attribution.
