[[Image:Kiyosu - hasui.jpg|right|thumb|400px|A 1931 print of Tokyo's Kiyosu Bridge, as seen in a process book depicting the process of building up an image one woodblock at a time. Separate blocks were used for each color in a composition, for creating layering effects, and other effects and designs.]]
*''Born: [[1883]]/5/18, Tokyo''
*''Died: 1957/11/7''
*''Other Names'': 川瀬文治郎 ''(Kawase Bunjirou)''
*''Japanese'': 川瀬巴水 ''(Kawase Hasui)''
Kawase Hasui is among the most famous of the ''[[shin-hanga]]'' woodblock print artists. He was recruited by publisher [[Watanabe Shozaburo|Watanabe Shôzaburô]] in 1918, and, employing a combination of traditional and modern (Western) techniques and materials, he designed countless landscape scenes imbued with the romance of a "traditional" Japan.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Kawase Bunjirô later took on the [[art-name]] "Hasui." He trained in ''[[Nihonga]]'' painting under [[Araki Kanyu|Araki Kan'yû]] and [[Aoyanagi Bakusen]], and in Western painting (''[[yoga|yôga]]'') with the White Horse Society Aoibashi, before becoming a disciple of [[Kaburaki Kiyokata]]. In 1918 he received his first commission from Watanabe Shôzaburô's company - three pieces. He remained associated with Watanabe's firm throughout a lengthy career, but many scholars feel that his best work was produced between 1918 and 1923.<ref>Mason. p384.</ref>
