Watanabe: Japanese Print Envoy
Drawn from the Chazen’s collection of nearly four
thousand Japanese prints, this exhibition focuses
on the work of one publisher: Shozaburo
Watanabe. Determined to renew the tradition of
Japanese color woodcuts, Watanabe hired a new
generation of artists and craftsmen to create
prints that brought traditional techniques into the
twentieth century. He called these prints “shin
hanga” or “new prints,” now the generic name for
the style his workshop pioneered.
