Yoshitoshi Wood Block Prints | |
Tsukoika Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) made his first wood block print around the time that Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Japan. His prints of heroes ranged from contemporary actors and Tokyo fireman to legendary figures such as Kintaro (The Golden Boy, right). Some of his prints are humorous such as an octopus unwilling to be sold at a market place. Many are scenes from battles or horror stories.
