In 20th-century Japanese art, shln hanga refers to the "new prints." Relatively unknown, they are distinguished from traditional bowl engravings by their visual language rooted in modernity. The women, often idealized and stylized, are now drawn from real models whose emotions can be guessed. The landscapes, Impressionist rather than realistic, are characterized by a very evocative chromatic range. These fascinating "new prints" also demonstrate exceptional technical perfection, the result of collaboration between artists such as Goy6, Kotondo, Shlnsul and Hasul, publishers, engravers and printers.
The selection of prints presented here, drawn from two major private collections, is enriched with works from the Royal Museums of Art and History of Brussels and - an invaluable contribution - loans from the collection of the family of the publisher Watanabe Sh6zabur6, the man who started it all.
