Zojoji, Shiba (1925)

Hasui Kawase’s Zojoji Shiba (1925), a Shin-Hanga era Japanese woodblock print, was first issued in 1925 where more than 3,000 impressions were taken from the original woodblocks. The left margin reads Shiba Zôjôji (“Zôjô Temple, Shiba”) and Taishô jûyo nen saku (“Made in the fourteenth year of Taishô”). It depicts one of the Zôjô temples in Shiba Park, Tokyo during a snowfall. The mausoleums of the Tokugawa family were part of the temples at Zôjôji.
