SHIN HANGA

Shin- Hanga (New Prints) are 20th Century Japanese prints made by the same traditional system used to produce ukiyo-e, but most shin hanga prints are distinctly different from traditional ukiyo-e in their looks (western style); and tactile quality (of the modern paper and pigments). Shin hanga prints typically fall into the categories of: landscapes, birds and flowers, beauties and actors.
