Yoshitoshi - Yoshitoshi was the most influential artist of Meiji era Japan. His prints shimmer with energy and bring to life the tales of ancient Japan. Tragic love stories, the downfall of the once mighty, untouchable beauty, military conquests, and slices of everyday life. The stories go on and on. Yoshitoshi had the heart of a storyteller, spinning his tales and twisting the outcome to suit his art. He also had the immense talent of a woodblock master, bringing emotion and elegance to an image on paper.

47 Ronin, Act 5: The Yamazaki Highway, 1860 - Yoshitoshi's 47 Ronin, produced in 1860, was one artist's earliest series. This original print from that series offers a fascinating early glimpse into the artistry of a man who would become known as the last great master of Ukiyo-e.
