Nihon no hanga

About Nihon no hanga

The Nihon no hanga collection includes over 2000 Japanese prints of which 90% dates from the 20th century. Nihon no hanga has as its goal to provide a comprehensive overview of the developments in 20th century Japanese print production. Twice a year we produce an exhibition exploring a variety of themes, accompanied by an exhibition catalogue. Our largest publication featuring the two main movements of 20th century Japanese printmaking titled 'Waves of renewal: modern Japanese prints 1900 to 1960'​ was released in 2016 and shown at the Fondation Baur in Geneva. Later that year the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam organised an exhibition titled 'Japan Modern'​ with prints from the collection. In the winter of 2018-2019, Waves of renewal (or Vagues de renouveau) was on display at the Fondation Custodia in Paris. Nihon no hanga is open to the public with a new exhibition every May and November.
