Shin-Bijutsukai, which translates to "New Magazine of the Arts," was a groundbreaking Japanese design periodical published between 1901 and 1906. Edited by Korin Furuya, the magazine was part of Japan’s broader effort to modernise its visual culture during the Meiji era by blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with emerging Western art influences. Each issue featured elaborate, highly stylised design plates that drew from both classical Japanese motifs such as seasonal flora, birds, and folklore and modern Art Nouveau styles, reflecting the dynamic fusion of East and West in Japan’s decorative arts.

Among the influential artists associated with this movement was Watanabe Seitei (1851–1918), a pioneering figure known for harmonising nihonga (Japanese-style painting) with Western naturalism. Though not a primary contributor to Shin-Bijutsukai, Seitei’s work greatly influenced the visual language and aesthetic ideals promoted by the magazine. Renowned for his delicate bird-and-flower paintings and refined sense of composition, Seitei’s artistic innovations helped set the stage for the kind of stylised, nature-inspired designs that defined Shin-Bijutsukai's visual appeal. His influence is evident in the magazine's embrace of graceful, ornamental forms that bridged tradition and modernity.
