Shin Hanga was an early 20th century art movement in Japan that sought to unify influences from European painting, especially impressionism, with traditional Japanese woodblock printing. In this sense, it forms sort of a mirror movement to Art Nouveau and the general European Japonisme craze of the prior decades. It is distinct from Ukiyo-e in its deployment of color gradients in lieu of pure flat shapes as well as its realistic and distinctively impressionistic handling of light and color.

Consecrated by Blood and Teeth Aesthetic

I watch with my blind eyes

I fall, with my blind eyes open

I hang out my tongue and destroy tree bark

I hang out my tongue, but not to caress love or justice

Thorns grow on my tongue like harpoons.

They are not for easing fear and hunger.
