This stunning Duille fine art print features ‘Night Rain, Teradomari’ a woodblock by Japanese artist Sochu Kawase Hasui. One of a series, Souvenirs of Travels, Second Collection it embodies the artist’s love of natural scenes depicting the elements. “I love quiet scenes with the shadow of loneliness hanging over them”, he wrote. Hasui often created works picturing scenes at night, dawn or sunset. He sought to portray the inspiration of nature, atmospheric effects to suggest ephemerality, poetic moods of ‘tranquillity or contemplation’, the source of a Japanese sense of identity in values and sensibilities of the past  and the capacity of ‘beauty’ for ‘expressing spirituality.

About the work

The scene is beautifully lit and richly shaded with colour bringing a soothing sense of tranquility. The absence of modern features such as power lines creates a timeless feeling.
