Spring Snow at Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoo

A variant composition of Kiyomizu-dera in spring snow, the title's archaic romanization 'Kyoo' (an older transliteration of Kyoto) suggests this may be an early edition or a printing from a different publisher's catalog. The temple's elevated stage provides a natural focal point from which the snowy hillside and surrounding trees descend. Hasui's handling of snow in such prints typically employs reserved areas of white washi paper combined with pale blue-gray bokashi in the sky to convey the cold luminosity of a late-season snowfall. The composition likely captures the threshold between winter's retreat and spring's arrival, a transitional mood well suited to the shin-hanga aesthetic of poetic stillness.
