A Mirror of the Achievements of Children - Published in 1881, Yoshitoshi's "A Mirror of the Achievements of Children" series depicts the notable accomplishments of boys and young men. Whether wrestling with demons or performing feats of amazing strength and skill, these interesting scenes feature expressive figures in attractive settings, with vibrant color and fine bokashi shading. Not much is known about this rarely seen chuban series. Roger Keyes lists 9 prints in the series, but we have come across several that are not recorded by him. We seldom come across these designs, so if they appeal to you, bid now!
