I do like Hasui! His colours are so beautiful. I discovered Shin Hanga a few years ago,but haven't had time to follow up and learn more. Though I have a couple of current prints from the Gado Gallery in Kyoto, which I rather like.

In 1999, when everyone was panicking about Y2K, I was in New York, and reading everyday about survivalists stocking up on a lifetime supply of tinned tuna or whatever, in expectation of The Total Collapse Of Civilisation i.e. the USA. So I stocked up too, on bottled water, Ryvita, dried fruit, nuts, good dark chocolate, several tins of wild boar pate and a couple of bottles of champagne, which I felt would cover all reasonable likelihoods, as indeed it did.
