YOSHITOSHI Tsukioka (1839 - 1892) - "Warrior looking at a battlefield during the full moon". 1888. Ôban tate-e. Wood engraving, printed in colors, on Japan paper. Signed "Yoshitoshi". Plate 52 of the series "The Hundred Aspects of the Moon" (Tsuki Hyakushi). Very nice proof with margins. The suite of 100 prints was published in several waves by Akiyama Buemon between 1885 and 1892. They represent the different aspects of the moon, borrowed from Japanese and Chinese anecdotes, historical events and mythology. In this composition, Yoshitoshi illustrates the drama of the battle. YOSHITOSHI Tsukioka, whose real name was Owariya Yonejiro, was renamed "Yoshitoshi" by his master Kuniyoshi, one of the greatest masters of Japanese prints, from whom he acquired all his knowledge at the age of 11 in 1850. Although he was not considered Kuniyoshi's successor during his lifetime, he is now recognized as his principal student. Condition A (good condition).
