Shin Hanga, or "New Printing," was an important 20th century movement in Japanese printmaking.  Shin Hanga print artists often revisited the popular subjects of the classical period of Ukiyo-e: beautiful women, famous actors, and stylized landscapes. In contrast with Sosaku Hanga, or "Creative Prints," which are self-published, Shin Hanga prints were produced in the traditional method with artists working in tandem with printers and publishers to create collaborative works. Products of a transitional era, Shin Hanga prints often incorporate modern elements and sensibilities into familiar environments, blending nostalgia for the old with a sense of wonder for the new.
