Description

This woodblock print, titled *Spring* by Kawase Hasui, shows a hillside town with a cluster of multi-story buildings and a tiered pagoda roof on the right, set against layered green mountains under a pale blue sky. A curving road runs through the foreground with several small figures walking along it. The palette is dominated by greens in the hills and trees, with cream and grey tones in the architecture.
