Yoshitoshi works magic through ink and paper in the series One Hundred Views of the Moon (Tsuki Hyakushi, 1885-1892). Regarded as one of the great masterpieces of ukiyo-e, this woodblock print series offers not only creative, compositional, and technical brilliance, but also unfettered passion. 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 shaping its future. Ronin Gallery invites you to step into this mysterious realm and explore all one hundred designs from this marvel of Meiji-period (1868-1912) printmaking.
