The Floating World

Inokashira in Snow (Benten Shrine)

Inokashira no yuki

Kawase Hasui · 1928 (Shōwa 3, on the National Diet Library record)

それは何か

Snow covers the red Benten shrine on the pond at Inokashira, and the trees around it bend under the weight.

なぜ重要か

Hasui designed his first falling-snow print in 1920, and his snow scenes are counted among his most original and best works.

注目すべき点

The red of the shrine is the only warm colour in a sheet of white and grey.

Snow makes a shrine into a lantern.

摺りについて。 From the National Diet Library of Japan, through Wikimedia Commons; the library record gives the publication as 1928. Falling snow is printed as fine flecks over the finished sheet, and a clean impression keeps them crisp. 摺りによる違いは実在します——拭き取りや退色は一枚ごとに異なり、公開コレクションの中から最良の一枚を選ぶことこそ、当店の学芸的な仕事です。
