Ito Yuhan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ito Yuhan (伊藤 雄半, 1867-1942) was a Japanese landscape artist who made woodblock prints.[1]

He studied at the Kyoto Prefecture School of Painting and at Harada Naojirō's Shobikan art school in Tokyo.[2]

He was associated with the later Shin-hanga movement and a series of prints was created in the 1950s by the publisher Yosaku Nishinomiya. Earlier print impressions demonstrated clear key block outlines typical other shin-hanga artists. Later print impressions lacked these clear outlines and had similar soft tones to a watercolor.[3]
