Shin Hanga
Shin Hanga, meaning "new prints," is a Japanese art movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It sought to revive traditional ukiyo-e woodblock printing techniques while incorporating modern themes and styles. Artists aimed to blend the old with the new, creating works that appealed to contemporary audiences.
The movement was characterized by its focus on landscapes, beautiful women, and everyday life, often using vibrant colors and intricate details. Notable artists associated with Shin Hanga include Hasui Kawase and Ito Shinsui, who played significant roles in popularizing this art form during the Taisho and early Showa periods.
