New Japanese Art prints

Latest Additions to the Japanese Collection

This page collects the newest Japanese art prints added to the Kuriosis catalog. The Japanese collection is one of our largest and most developed — spanning Edo-period ukiyo-e, Meiji-era woodblock prints, the shin-hanga movement of the early 20th century, and traditional botanical and bird studies. New additions include works by Hiroshi Yoshida, Kono Bairei, Keika Hasegawa, and other masters whose prints defined Japanese visual culture across several centuries.

The range of subjects reflects the breadth of the tradition: mountain landscapes, harbour scenes, chrysanthemum studies, birds in natural settings, and nighttime street views. What connects them is the woodblock printing technique — the flat colour planes, the precise line work, and the relationship between negative space and composition that makes Japanese prints immediately recognisable.

Woodblock Masters and Shin-Hanga

The shin-hanga movement, active from the 1910s through the 1960s, revived traditional woodblock techniques with a modern sensibility. Artists like Hiroshi Yoshida brought Western perspective and atmospheric light to the Japanese print format, creating landscapes that feel both traditional and contemporary. His mountain scenes and coastal views remain among the most collected Japanese prints worldwide. Alongside shin-hanga, you will find earlier works — Kono Bairei's bird studies from the 1880s, Keika Hasegawa's chrysanthemum plates, and other Meiji-period material that documents the natural world with scientific precision and visual grace.

Every print is reproduced in our Berlin studio using archival pigment inks on 225g matte fine art paper. The matte surface is a natural match for woodblock art — it keeps the flat colour fields and fine line detail that define the medium. Paper prints are available in A3, 50×70 cm, 70×100 cm, and A0. Framing options include oak, black, and walnut brown.
