• Hanga (Woodblock Print). 16 issues. Kobe: Hanga-no-Ie (Yamaguchi Hisayoshi, publisher), 1924–1930.

Curatorial note:

At the beginning of the twentieth century, just after the Japanese woodblock print had begun to influence Western painting and decoration, modern European art and new ideas about the making of art arrived in Japan. Art Nouveau, Impressionism, and German Abstract Expressionism were to have an especially profound impact on printmaking. The periodical Hanga showcases this early twentieth-century influence on Japanese artists who broke with their roughly three-hundred-year-long woodblock printing tradition in pursuit of the Western concept of “art for art’s sake.” Published quarterly by print shop owner Yamaguchi Hisayoshi between 1924 and 1930, Hanga celebrated the work of these artists and, in doing so, documented the rise of what became known in the 1920s as the Sōsaku Hanga (Creative Print) movement in Japan.
