Hasui Kawase (川瀬 巴水, Kawase Hasui; (May 18, 1883 – November 7, 1957)

A Japanese artist who was one of 20th century Japan's most important and prolific printmakers.

He was a prominent designer of the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects with a style influenced by yōga (Western-style painting).

Like many earlier ukiyo-e prints, Hasui's works were commonly landscapes, but displayed atmospheric effects and natural lighting

Hasui designed almost one thousand woodblock prints over a career that spanned nearly forty years.
