THE HISTORY OF SHIN HANGA
Explore one of the finest selections of Shin Hanga available for sale. Originally initiated by the woodblock publisher Shozaburo Watanabe, Shin Hanga or “new prints” were a revision of earlier Ukiyo-e or 17th-to-19th–century Japanese prints.
HOW ARE SHIN HANGA PRINTS CREATED?
Like Ukiyo-e, Shin Hanga prints were produced with a collaborative system where a publisher hired an artist to produce a design and artisans to carve the woodblocks and printers to print the finished work. Notable Shin Hanga we carry include the potent actor portraits of Toyonari and Shunsen, the stunning images of beautiful women (bijin-ga) by Goyo, Kotondo, Shinsui, accurate renderings of wildlife by Koson, Shoson, and Hoson, and the awe-inspiring landscapes of Hasui, Hiroaki, and H. Yoshida.
