Shin-hanga is one of my favourite art movements, it was the confluence of traditional Japanese woodblock carving and contemporary Western painting. Unlike the latter, you can actually buy authentic prints for a reasonable price, given that the medium of print blocks was made for mass-production (though on a much smaller scale than modern printing).
