Title: Koi no Mizu (1957)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://www.toki.tokyo/blogt/2017/1/16/koi-fish #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #KasamatsuShiro #Spring #Koi #CherryBlossoms #Japan

Two koi swim just below the surface of a pond. One fish looks like a Sanshoku type with white, orange and black colours; the other looks like a dark-coloured Matsuba type. Pink cherry blossom petals float on the surface of the green-tinted water.

A tall, robust cherry tree stands in front of a Japanese temple, its branches loaded with pink blossoms. Ranks of green trees line up just beyond; above, the sky is milky and overcast.

A view looking up over green trees at a traditional thatched-roof cottage standing on tall stone foundations. Just behind the cottage, tall cherry trees are in full bloom, their branches packed with pink and white blossoms. Further on, a shadowy hillside rises into an overcast sky

Title: The Beginning of Spring (1964)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15689989 #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #KasamatsuShiro #Winter #Snow #Spring #Japan

A view of the front door of a Japanese-style house on a bright sunny day in early spring. Snow is piled up at the doorstep, while snow melts and and drips as it slides off the roof above. The sliding front door is slightly ajar. A rectangular birdcage is suspended from a bamboo pole just outside the door; a small bird is inside the cage, getting some sunshine and fresh air.

Title: Sunset, Minakami (1958)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://www.tokyocowboy.co/articles/minakami-onsen-gunma #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #KasamatsuShiro #Winter #Snow #Minakami #Gunma #Japan

A view looking down a narrow lane in Minakami on a snowy winter's day. Tall stone foundations create a wall on our left; the blank side of a building stands on our right. The lane is deserted, but a rough track cleared in the snow on the ground tells of earlier foot traffic. Up ahead, more snow covers the rooftops of other buildings, and warm light glows in their windows. Beyond, snowy tree-covered mountains rise toward a dim, overcast sky. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

Fresh snow clings to the leafless branches of a bush; red berries still clinging to the branches stand out vividly against the snow. Beyond, the sky is dim and featureless.

A small fire burns among leafless blackened trees, sending a column of smoke up the centre of the image. The ground is cracked and lifeless, the sky above mostly hidden by tree branches, but dim and overcast.

A view of Kyoto's Katsura Imperial Villa on a bright winter's day. The clean, severe angles of the villa dominate the foreground of the image; beyond, leafless trees reach up into the clear blue sky as the late afternoon sun tints the horizon with orange.

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15629153 #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #KoguchiIchiro #Showa #Winter #Snow #Ice #CapeNosappu #Hokkaido #Japan

Broken fragments of sea ice create clutter along a barren, rocky shoreline in Hokkaido. A trio of birds wheel in the sky over the cold ocean; beyond, the sea ice begins to firm up, forming a snowy white horizon in the distance. The sky above is pale blue, streaked with a few distant wind-whipped clouds.

Title: Matsumoto Castle (1950)

Artist: Okiie

https://visitmatsumoto.com/en/event/illumination/ #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #Snow #Winter #Matsumoto #Nagano #Japan

A view of Nagano's Matsumoto Castle in winter. Leafless trees stand in the foreground, screening our view of a flat snowy field stretching out toward the castle. The stacked rooftops of the multi-level castle are covered with fresh snow; the windows are dark and unlit. Beyond, low mountains cross the horizon, beneath a steely blue sky. Everything seems quiet and still.

Title: Riverside (1970)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://matcha-jp.com/en/3152 #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #KasamatsuShiro #Snow #Winter #Japan

A view looking down into a residential street on a dim winter evening somewhere in Japan. On our left, a river curves up and across the top of the image; on the riverbank, a row of houses follows the line of the river, light shining in their windows. An uneven layer of snow covers the tile rootops of the houses. In the street on our right, hanging lanterns throw splashes of yellow illumination across the ground, and a few shadowy pedestrians walk along the road.

A traditional-style storefront on New Year's Day, somewhere in Kyoto. The sliding doors are shut, the windows are closed, and the street before the shop is empty.

Artist: Jun'ichiro Sekino

https://www.jrailpass.com/blog/snow-season-japan #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #JunichiroSekino #Winter #Snow #Aizurie #Japan

A view looking down at two parallel lines of closely-set houses, facing each other across a narrow lane. It's evening, and the cold light renders the scene in shades of blue. Illumination from inside the houses spills out into the lane in fan-shaped splashes. The lane itself looks like it may have a light dusting of snow, with a clear track worn by foot traffic running down the middle.

The warm light of an intense sunset is filtered through what look like tall stalks of corn. The sunlight fills the image with gold and orange, while the plants standing in the foreground are reduced to green-tinted silhouettes.

Artist: Shiro Kasamatsu

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15534339 #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #KasamatsuShiro #Showa #Autumn #RiceHarvest #Harvest #Ohara #Japan

Rice is harvested on a farm in rural Japan. A series of terraced rice fields dominate the image, traveling from the foreground to the background like rolling waves. In the foreground, golden sheaves of rice have been hung up to dry on wooden racks, while figures continue the harvest on terraces further on. At the far end of the image, thatched-roof farmhouses stand close together, tucked in beneath tall dark trees.

Title: Sugimotodera, Kamakura (1985)

Artist: Ray Morimura

https://sugimotodera.com/english/ #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Showa #Autumn #RayMorimura #Sugimotodera #Kamakura #Japan

A stylized view of the stairs climbing the mountainside at Sugimotodera, in Kamakura. Trees of all kinds are rendered in greens, browns, and blacks as they crowd close to the steps. Halfway up the mountain, the path passes through a gate before continuing on toward the main temple building; the tops of other temple buildings are visible among the trees, and visitors to the temple climb and descend the steps. Above, the sky is a stylized burnt orange and black.

A wide stone set of steps leads up a hill toward a temple gate. A tall tree stands to the left of the steps, its branches full of autumn leaves in red, orange and yellow; beneath the tree, fallen leaves are scattered across the path. Beyond the gate, more trees populate nearby hills, their details obscured by mist. Above, the sky is a warm gold colour.

Title: Cherry Tree in Autumn at Joshokoji Temple (1967)

Artist: Kasamatsu Shiro

https://kyoto-keihoku.jp/en/howto/see/1663/ #ShinHanga #SosakuHanga #Art #Showa #KasamatsuShiro #Autumn #JoshokojiTemple #Kyoto #Japan

The leaves of a cherry tree in autumn yellow and orange screen our view of part of Kyoto's Joshokoji Temple. The branches of the tree are supported from below by poles, in anticipation of snow; beneath the tree, cloud-pruned shrubs line up along a walkway toward the temple building. Beyond, the silhouettes of trees crowd out all but a small glimpse of a dim sky
