The design is inspiried by Hotei #78, an oban print from 1921. This format must have been an experiment by a publisher, probably Watanabe, although the design never seems to have gone to print. The seal and signature are consistent with Hasui’s Taisho era, pre-earthquake work.

Perhaps this is why the roman number “5” has been stamped onto the print int he lower left. Haibara published a series of fan designs in the uchiwa-e format in 1935, designs which were later published by Kato and Ayumi Shuppan. It is also possible that a number of prints of this design were sold to the public, but that none survive as they were mounted as fans and then discarded. When looking at other designs from this period in the oban format, it is evident that this design is the most suited to be adapted into a fan format. (The Hasui scholar Hisao Shimizu from the Ota City Folk museum has been shown this work and is convinced that it was an experiment by Watanabe and is a pre-earthquake design.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good impression and color.

Shimura exhibited paintings with Kyodotai in 1927 and with Seikinkai in 1938. He became known for his paintings of beautiful women with long eyelashes and blurred pupils.  As a young man, Shimura also worked as an illustrator for newspapers, serialized novels, and magazines, notably for the Japanese magazine \"Woman's world\" (Fujokai). His most famous illustrations were for the novel Tange Sazen by Hayashi Fubo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artist’s seal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimura Tatsumi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29584317907026,"sku":"SHM001","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/3388\/6546\/products\/4175863792_1c8f0c66-fc32-4425-b591-398b682580d0.jpg?v=1564323989"},{"product_id":"hac016","title":"Hasui: Ioridani Pass, Etchu (Sold)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kawase Hasui\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ioridani Pass, Etchu\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1929\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePink-sky version of this meticulous bird’s eye view of the valley.

(In first editions such as this example, the yellow in the eyes has had an extra layer of pigment applied, to give it an extra intensity.)
