Description:
Color woodblock print. At the age of 11 Yoshitoshi was apprenticed to the ukiyoe artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. By the early 1880s he was the most popular artist of his day; his works after 1885 are generally considered to be his best. In contrast to his earlier preoccupation with martial subjects, Yoshitoshi also treated the theme of beautiful women in the series Fūzoku sanjū-ni sō ("32 aspects of women"; 1888).
