Takahashi Shotei 'Thunderstorm at Tateishi' (Tateishi no raiu), woodblock print, 1925
Takahashi Shotei (also known as Hiroaki) was one of the shin-hanga movement's first emblematic artists, beginning to draw print designs for Watanabe Shozaburo in 1907. Despite much of his work and woodblocks being destroyed by the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, he continued to create another 250 prints in the shin-hanga style.
