Hasui Kawase, celebrated as a pivotal figure within the Shin-Hanga movement, expertly combined classical ukiyo-e woodblock artistry with Western artistic influences to create spellbinding landscapes.

My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge.
