'Shin hanga' exhibition: 'These Japanese prints show a new type of women'

In the Cinquantenaire Park, you can go and look at 220 Japanese prints from the early 20th century. These shin hanga prints show not only the traditional image of Japan, but also the moga (an abbreviation of modan garu, modern girl). "She's a very self-assured woman. She probably has a job, she wears western clothes, she smokes, she drinks a cocktail, she goes out in the Ginza district. It's not the dreamlike beauty as in the traditional prints."
