Tsukioka Yoshitoshi
Japanese, 1839–1892
Yoshitoshi trained under Utagawa Kuniyoshi and became one of the last great designers of ukiyo-e, working through Japan’s rapid modernisation after 1868. His early work includes violent battle and ghost scenes; after a breakdown in the early 1870s he developed a more refined, inventive style. His late series, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, draws on history, legend and literature, and he trained many pupils who carried his approach into the new century.
