I´m studying by my own to know eastern art history and your video just give the perfect vibe to continue exploring this topic bc it's an amazing art style
Hello! Not an art historian but I am a Japanese studies student who took a module in Japanese Art. Ukiyo-e prints were popular throughout the Edo period (1603-1867) but declined during the Meiji era (1868-1912). Some ukiyo-e prints did experiment with Western techniques such as one-point perspective as seen in the Utagawa school's 'uki-e' (perspective pictures). Also, while sōsaku hanga did incorporate more Western aesthetic philosophies with abstract designs and a major focus on artistic individualism with their 'jiga-jikoku-jizuri' slogan (self-drawn, self-carved, self-printed), these prints were still seen as low-brow art by the Japanese government who did not include sōsaku hanga prints in their own national art exhibitions until after WWII.
Incredible Art
Beautiful Work
The Comfort Of Man Know’s No Bounds
The vibrance of the colors are captivating.
The colors are definitely what initially drew me to the Shin-hanga prints! Thank you for the comment!

Thank you for the comment and your perspective as a Japanese Studies student, I really appreciate it!

Also cheaper!
