Tsukioka Yoshitoshi
ARTISTTsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) is usually called the last great master of ukiyo-e. His career ran across the collapse of the Edo order and the arrival of Meiji Japan, and his work carries that violence: the early muzan-e, or bloody prints, are among the most brutal images in Japanese art. He later turned to ghost stories, historical legend and the extraordinary series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, completed in the year of his death, where the moon is a pretext for a hundred different human moments. He worked against the tide, insisting on woodblock printing as photography and lithography took over, and he struggled with poverty and mental illness throughout. This archive holds high-resolution scans of his prints, free to preview and available as originals for printing.
