Shin Hanga

Shin Hanga is a Japanese art movement from the early 20th century that revitalized traditional woodblock printing by blending classical techniques with modern themes and styles. "Shin" means "new," and "Hanga" refers to prints, so it translates to "New Prints." Artists focused on capturing contemporary life, landscapes, and beauty with vibrant colors and sharp details, while maintaining craftsmanship. Shin Hanga aimed to make traditional printmaking appealing in a modern context, gaining international recognition and influencing both Japanese and Western art scenes during that period.
