Kawase Hasui, Spring Moon (Ninomiya Coast), Ukiyo-e print, Tenugui (Japanese hand towel), Size: Approx. 100cm x 35cm, Made in Japan, Tokuoka fabric, C

• 100% Cotton • Country of Origin: Japan Printed using reactive dyes on Tokuoka, the highest quality tenugui fabric. Tokuoka is woven with finer threads than Bun or Souri fabrics, resulting in lower absorbency but a more vivid pattern. • Please Note Product images may differ from the actual color depending on your monitor and lighting. The color may vary slightly depending on the season of dyeing. The edges of the fabric are raw-cut, so they may unravel initially, but this will stop after several washes. Color may bleed due to sweat or friction. Please wash separately to prevent color transfer. Leaving it wet may cause color transfer, so please dry it promptly. There may be knots in the fabric, which is a characteristic of the fabric. Each fabric has its own unique weave and slight distortions, so the cut edges may be slanted. Please understand the above. Kawase Hasui's Spring Moon Tenugui (Japanese Hand Towel) "Spring Moon (Ninomiya Coast)" by Kawase Hasui is a woodblock print created in March 1932 (Showa 7) by Kawase Hasui, a representative artist of the "Shin-hanga" (New Print) movement who was active from the Taisho to Showa periods. The work depicts the coast of Ninomiya Town, Kanagawa Prefecture (along Sagami Bay). It portrays a mystical spring night scene where a brightly shining full moon reflects and sparkles on the calm surface of the sea. It is known as a masterpiece that shines with Hasui's characteristic lyrical beauty and the delicate gradation (blurring) technique that is almost unbelievable for a woodblock print.
