Kawase Hasui (1883 to 1957) was a Japanese printmaker born in Tokyo, considered one of the twentieth century's most important and prolific print artists. He was a central figure of the shin-hanga, or new prints, movement, which depicted traditional Japanese subjects in a style influenced by Western-style painting. Over a career of nearly forty years he designed almost one thousand woodblock prints, becoming best known for landscape and townscape views and snow scenes, including the bestselling Zojo-ji Temple in Shiba of 1925. The Japanese government named him a Living National Treasure in 1956.
