Subject:Hasui Kawase Prints
Posted By: Lance Frazer Thu, Aug 11, 2016 IP: 67.187.170.37

Good day. I was recently given two prints which I have been able to identify as "Evening at Kintai Doshi Bridge in Spring" and "Mt. Fuji by Moonlight," both by Hasui Kawase. My question is this -- is there any way to further identify these prints (as to date, publisher, etc.) without removing them from the frames to see if there is further identification/information along the borders? The size, near as I can approximate, is about 15 x 9, and they appear in very nice condition, making me reluctant to start dis-assembling the frames. The only other thing I know is that they were given to this acquaintance during a 1961 visit to Korea. I have posted the best pictures I can get (one of Mt. Fuji by Moonlight, and one each of the marks on the lower left side of each print, and I will be most grateful for any assistance.

Further research shows these were both created in 1947, and published by Watanabe Shozaburo.
