The Art of Kawase Hasui

If you love nature, you’ll love the beautiful mid-twentieth century wood block art of Kawase Hasui. Gorgeous tranquil images … A few favorites, with accompanying haiku.

A Moonlit Bridge


Spring exuberance

Leap across! Into the moon’s

Maternal embrace

Lotus Pond


Psyche’s mysteries

The infinity beneath

The flowered surface.

The Magic Woods


Deep thoughts soar skyward

Tiny footsteps shaded by

A sacred forest.

Tengu Rock


Colored leaves dancing

Water falls into stillness

Quickening heart smiles

A Temple in Winter


The sleeping temple

Nature’s white season of peace

Our Earth, melting, weeps.
