"Shin-hanga" prints were directed to a Western audience largely through Western patronage and art dealers such as Robert O. Muller (1911-2003). Primarily aimed at foreign markets, "shin-hanga" prints appealed to Western taste for nostalgic and romanticized views of Japan and as such, enjoyed immense popularity overseas. In the 1920s, there were articles on "shin-hanga" in the "International Studio", "The Studio", "The Art News" and "The Art Digest" magazines. In 1921, a "Shinsaku-hanga Tenrankai" ("New Creative Print Exhibition") was held in Tokyo. One hundred and fifty works by ten artists were exhibited. In 1930 and 1936, two major "shin-hanga" exhibitions were held at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio. They were the largest showcases of "shin-hanga" prints at the time.
