Shiba Zojoji is Hasui's most popular print, and it showcases the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and tranquility of landscapes.
The print depicts Zojoji, a Buddhist temple located in Tokyo's Shiba area, on a heavy-snow night. In the print, a lone woman, covered with an umbrella, is walking in front of the temple's gate. Hasui frequently uses the solitary figure motif in his artwork, which symbolizes the individual's connection to nature and the landscape. The woman's small size in comparison to the temple and the surrounding landscape emphasizes the grandeur and power of nature. This timeless piece continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
