Description
In the series 100 Views of the Moon (Tsuki Hyakushi, 1885-1892), Yoshitoshi works magic through ink and paper. Regarded as one of the great masterpiece series of ukiyo-e, Yoshitoshi's 100 Views of the Moon offers not only creative, compositional, and technical brilliance, but also unfettered passion. He draws his viewer into a mysterious realm, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion. From tales of vengeful ghosts and legendary heroes to poetic musings and otherworldly encounters, Yoshitoshi threads together poetry, folklore, literature, and history beneath the light of the moon. This shimmering ode to centuries of Japanese culture reinvigorated the tales of the past for a nation still shaping its future.
