SHIN HANGA
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.
