A 1951 woodblock print by Hasui Kawase, 'After Autumn Rain, Nanzenji, Kyoto', is being shared by art lovers, linked to an NHK World programme. Kawase, a leading figure of Japan's shin-hanga movement, is admired for his atmospheric landscapes of temples and seasonal scenery, and this quiet depiction of a Kyoto temple in rain is striking a chord with viewers.

Why now: Interest in shin-hanga art and Japanese seasonal imagery, boosted by NHK World coverage.
