Scene from Kyoto

Charles William Bartlett, 1860-1940, is one of the Western shin hanga artists. The artist had undergone a solid academic training in Europe when he arrived in Japan in 1915. Shozaburo Watanabe published 21 prints after paintings by the artist. When Bartlett wanted to return to England via the U.S.A., he remained in Hawaii where he died in 1940. During his Hawaii years, the artist made a few more print designs for Watanabe. Bartlett prints are rather rare, as the blocks were destroyed or made unusable.
