| Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892) | ||||||||||
| Born in Edo, Tsukioka became one of the most renowned figures in Japanese woodblock printing. His early training under Utagawa Kuniyoshi introduced him to the ukiyo-e tradition, but Tsukioka eventually moved away from strictly traditional subjects, creating works that were more innovative and emotionally complex. His early prints, often featuring intense or violent imagery, reflected the social instability of his time. As his career progressed, his style evolved towards more subtle portrayals of human emotion and narrative. One of his most celebrated series, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, illustrates this shift, bringing together elements of history, myth, and personal introspection in a highly detailed and colourful format. Tsukioka’s ability to adapt traditional techniques to reflect the changing times left a lasting impact despite his personal struggles. He died in Tokyo. | ||||||||||
