There are three black-and-white pictures of Hasui watercolors in the 3-25-98 Japanese Works of Art catalog of Sotheby's New York (800-444-3709). Two of them are "quite similar" to identified Hasui prints.
There's also a small B&W picture of one in the 11-2-96 Japanese Prints catalog of Christie's New York (800-395-6300).
But a very nice color comparison of a Hasui watercolor and print, with a good (if brief) discussion, can be found in Brown, Kendall H. and Hollis Goodall-Cristante, SHIN-HANGA New Prints in Modern Japan, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1996 (ref. pages 37-38).
