Shin-hanga.

Shin-hanga, or “new prints,” represents a revival of traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques in the early 20th century. I’ve always been drawn to this art form for its stunning beauty and the stories it tells. Shin-hanga artists, influenced by Western art styles, combined traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern techniques. The result is a unique blend that captures the essence of Japan’s landscapes, people, and culture. Each print is not just a visual feast; it also reflects the artist’s perspective, showcasing Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Studying shin-hanga allows us to appreciate the intricacies of printmaking while also understanding the socio-cultural context in which these works were created.
