Synopsis
The shin hanga (?new print?) movement flourished in Japan for almost fifty years after being set in motion and nurtured by publisher Watanabe Shozaburo (1885?1962). Employing the traditional ?ukiyo-e quartet a production system consisting of artists, carvers, printers, and publishers?shin hanga attracted Western as well as native artists. The studio teams created woodblock prints that updated traditional ukiyo-e (?pictures of the floating world?) prints by including Kabuki actor portraits, ?beauties, ? and landscapes and other nature themes, often birds and flowers. With lavish illustrations and expert commentary, Shin Hanga: The New Print Movement of Japan details the shin hanga movement and presents splendid reproductions of works by its principal artists.

Review
Pomegranate's products never cease to delight. Here we have a book abount prints in the Japanese style of 'Shin Hanga', which translates to 'new prints'. The Shim Hanga movement started in the early twentieth century, but interestingly, it was an effort by its adherents to revive an older style of woodblock called 'ukiyo-e' and merge it with more contemporary methods and imagery. The muted colors of the Japanese art are shown here in all of their glory. They convey a sense of delicacy, and attention to detail by not letting the medium overwhelm the imagery. If you're an art history lover, or merely a fan of Japanese art, you will undoubtedly love this book. Its not only beautiful, but the publisher wisely kept the physical size in reasonable proportion so that you can comfortably study both the pictures and the eminently readable and instructive text. -- Rainbo Electronic Reviews, May 2007
