Shin-hanga, or the new prints, is the style of prints from the Taisho (1912-1926) to early Showa (1926-1989) periods that inherit the ukiyoe style of the Edo period. The publisher Shozaburo Watanabe (1885-1962) followed the traditional divided process of printmaking but put the accent on the individuality of the artist as well. Watanabe collaborated with new artists like Fritz Capelari (1884-1950), a non-Japanese ukiyoe artist, Shinsui Ito (1898-1972), and Hasui Kawase (1883-1957), to create a new genre that would surpass the boundaries of European-style or Japanese-style painting.
After him other artists created new-style prints at the beginning of Showa and gained recognition abroad, especially in the US.
In this exhibition, around 190 works from the Chiba City Museum of Art will be on display.
