Urahama, Echigo (Echigo no Urahama), from the series Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series (Tabi miyage dai nishû), Taishô period, dated 1921

Dated 1921 and published within the Tabi miyage dai nishû (Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series), this print records Hasui's travels to the Urahama coastline in Echigo Province, present-day Niigata Prefecture. The Tabi miyage series, launched by publisher Watanabe Shozaburo around 1919, drew on Hasui's on-site sketches made during regional journeys and formalized them as numbered publishing editions. The Urahama subject likely depicts a fishing beach with vessels drawn up on shore, pine trees along the waterline, and the Sea of Japan's characteristic overcast sky. As a dated Taisho-period impression, this print documents an early moment in Hasui's career and the shin-hanga movement itself, before his compositional approach reached its mature form. The print's year inscription places it among the foundational works in Hasui's catalog of regional travel subjects.
