Kawase Hasui (Japanese, 1883–1957) Autumn at Saruiwa, Shiobara, 1949 Kawase Hasui’s impressionist-influenced images emphasized the beauty of Japan’s rural countryside and the changing seasons. The mountainscape in autumn, reproduced for this 500-piece puzzle, is a prime example of the artist’s mastery of delicate transitions in color, unique compositional viewpoints, and complementing textures of rocks and foliage.

Pretty submitted by 21621032124198 on April 30, 2022, 9:16am I very much enjoyed this image and the challenging colors. The pieces are large and fit very nicely into one another.

a good challenge submitted by bec on June 13, 2022, 7:45am The vegetation and rock face provided a satisfying challenge, and the artwork is beautiful. The puzzle pieces are sturdy. A lovely, relaxing puzzle.

Offers a Nice Challenge submitted by Meginator on August 22, 2022, 9:40am This puzzle went a lot more smoothly than I had expected, with a lot more variation in the individual pieces than I anticipated from the completed picture. The different plant-based sections are surprisingly varied in their backgrounds, and even the rocks on the right-hand side have enough differences in color to come together relatively quickly. The image itself is beautiful, and I loved that the puzzle encouraged me slow down and appreciate the artist’s use of color gradients and different textures. The only downside for me was that some of the blue pieces along the top couple of rows seemed to fit together even when they weren’t in the correct places; there are few enough of them that the problem was easy to resolve, but it’s something to watch out for when solving that section. This isn’t the easiest 500-piece puzzle in the library’s collection, but it offers a very pleasant solving experience with just the right amount of difficulty.
