2000s Japanese Woodblock Prints
349 prints from the 2000s in our collection, created during the Heisei Era (1989–2019). The Heisei era saw Japanese woodblock printmaking evolve from a living tradition into a globally collected art form. While few new shin-hanga were produced, the collector market for vintage prints expanded dramatically, with auction houses worldwide featuring Japanese prints as a major category.
