- Abstract
This article deals with the personality and art of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), one of the last ukiyo-e masters in Japan. Educated before Japan opened to the world, Yoshitoshi absorbed the best of his country's traditions. Developing his career in the decades of rapid change in Japanese culture and society, Yoshitoshi also mastered new trends and brought stunning originality into the field of woodblock printing. The Náprstek Museum is proud to have a large collection of Yoshitoshis work, including his phenomenal album "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon". This article offers a deeper analysis of some of the most intriguing pieces from the NpM collection.
