ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shin-hanga

Shin-hanga is a fancy word for pretty pictures that people in Japan like to make. They use special brushes and ink to draw really cool pictures of things like landscapes, people, and cute animals.

Sometimes they use colors too, which make the pictures even nicer to look at. These pictures are so special that they are usually only printed in very limited quantities.

People like to hang these pictures up in their homes or give them as gifts to friends, because they are so pretty to look at. It's like having a little piece of art that you can keep with you all the time.
