【Hasui Kawase】
(川瀬巴水 Kawase Hasui, May 18, 1883 – November 7, 1957) was a Japanese artist. He was one of the most prominent print designers of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement.

Kawase worked almost exclusively on landscape and townscape prints based on sketches he made in Tokyo and during travels around Japan. However, his prints are not merely meishō (famous places) prints that are typical of earlier ukiyo-e masters such as Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Kawase's prints feature locales that are tranquil and obscure in urbanizing Japan.

Hasui considered himself a realist and employed his training in Western painting in his compositions. Like Hiroshige he made travel and landscape prints, though his subjects were less known locations rendered with naturalistic light, shade, and texture, without the captions and titles that were standard in prints of Hiroshige's age.

Kawase left a large body of woodblock prints and watercolors. Many of the watercolors are linked to the woodblock prints, he also produced oil paintings, traditional hanging scrolls and a few byōbu (folding screens).

In the West, Kawase is mainly known as a Japanese woodblock printmaker. He and Hiroshi Yoshida are widely regarded as two of the greatest artists of the shin-hanga style, and are known especially for their landscape prints.

【川瀬巴水】（KAWASE HASUI / かわせはすい）
1883年（明治16年）5月18日 - 1957年（昭和32年）11月7日
日本の大正・昭和期の浮世絵師、版画家。本名は川瀬文治郎（かわせぶんじろう）。
衰退した日本の浮世絵版画を復興すべく吉田博らとともに新しい浮世絵版画である新版画を確立した人物として知られる。近代風景版画の第一人者であり、日本各地を旅行し旅先で写生した絵を原画とした版画作品を数多く発表、日本的な美しい風景を叙情豊かに表現し「旅情詩人」「旅の版画家」「昭和の広重」などと呼ばれる。アメリカの鑑定家ロバート・ミューラーの紹介によって欧米で広く知られ、国内よりもむしろ海外での評価が高く、浮世絵師の葛飾北斎・歌川広重等と並び称される程の人気がある。
