The traditional separation of the production steps into designing, carving, and printing as it was revived in the shin-hanga movement of the first half of the 20th century had essentially come to an end with the passing of the last proponents by the 1970s. Gendai-hanga, or contemporary prints, are the continuation of both sosaku-hanga and shin-hanga aesthetics post World War II. The sosaku-hanga principle of self-production has become the standard for print art in Japan without limitation to printing with woodblocks and now incorporates all possible techniques including, for example, etching, silkscreen, mezzotint.
