Moonlight Patrol - Fantastic Yoshitoshi print illustrating an old story from the Japanese civil war of the 16th century. In this print, Toshimitsu, a retainer for Akechi Mitsuhide, surveys the horizon on horseback. Though he tried to persuade Mitsuhide not to attack their former ally Nobunaga, but as a loyal retainer he is shown here preparing for the attack on Nobunaga's headquarters despite his own feelings. Beautiful print from Yoshitoshi's 100 Moon series, detailed with burnishing in the armor and fine bokashi shading in the water and sky.
