Ito Yuhan (伊藤 雄半, 1882-1951) was a Japanese landscape artist who made woodblock prints.[1]
He studied at the Kyoto Prefecture School of Painting and at Harada Naojirō's Shobikan art school in Tokyo.[2]
He was associated with the Shin-hanga movement and created a series of prints in the 1930s for publisher Yosaku Nishinomiya. A distinctive character of his work was that he did not use a key block, so the images he created lacked the clear black outlines common in the work of other shin-hanga artists.[3] Rather, he created sort-edged forms that had similar qualities to a watercolour.[4]
