	Yoshitoshi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839 - June 9, 1892) (Japanese: 月岡芳年; also named Taiso Yoshitoshi 大蘇芳年) was the last great master - and one of the great innovative and creative geniuses - of the Japanese woodblock print, Ukiyo-e.
		Yoshitoshi was originally named Owariya Yonejiro, and was given the name Yoshitoshi by his master Kuniyoshi, one of great masters of the Japanese woodblock print, to whom he was apprenticed at 11, in 1850.
		Yoshitoshi's courage, vision and force of character gave ukiyo-e another generation of life, and illuminated it with one last burst of glory.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: Yoshitoshi
		Yoshitoshi's final series of prints was his 'Shinkei sanjûrokkaisen' ("New Forms of Thirty-six Ghosts"), first published by Sasaki Toyokichi between April 1889 and July 1892.
		As Yoshitoshi became ill and would die before the last three designs of the set were published, he might have been assisted near the end by his students Toshikata (1866-1908) and Toshihide (1863-1925), but the extent of their involvement is unknown.
		Yoshitoshi's portrayal of Okiku is unusually sympathetic, particularly as ghosts were viewed as fearsome apparitions by nineteenth-century Japanese.

	Sinister Designs: Yoshitoshi Tsukioka
		Yoshitoshi did a number of Warriors series, and it is not always easy for the amateur to tell one from the other, unless one is fluent in Japanese and acquainted with the ways of printmakers.
		Yoshitoshi has treated the story of Yoshitsune and his retainer, Benkei, in his series One Hundred Views of the Moon and A Mirror of Famous Generals, as well as elsewhere.
		Yoshitoshi did a second take on this scene in his New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts an interesting composition that suffer,however,s from the oxydising ink he used for the flame which, over time, turns dark, eliminating the heat that is crucial to this scene.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: Kogyo
		Tsukioka Kôgyo was the son of innkeepers in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
		His mother (surnamed Sakamaki) married the ukiyo-e master Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1884, and the young Kôgyo took lessons and a new surname from his illustrious stepfather.
		Kôgyo was a skilled draftsman and print designer, worthy enough to inherit Yoshitoshi's artist seals in October 1910 and carry on the practice of traditional ukiyo-e printmaking.

		Finally, although most scholars seem to assume that Yoshitoshi's last mental illness was a continuation of his first, consistent psychotic delusions are not generally a part of the depressive pattern, although it can happen in rare and severe cases.
		Perhaps this is what happened to Yoshitoshi, or perhaps the aneurysm that was to lead to his cerebral hemorrhage was applying pressure to a specific area of his brain, or, perhaps, for that matter, he had been eating too many mushrooms in the miso.
		Yoshitoshi was impressed by what he saw in western composition and movement, and adapted it to his work.

		Alternatively, John Stevenson’s marvellous Yoshitoshi’s One Hundred Aspects of the Moon provides a large reproduction of each print with an accompanying explanation of its subject together with a wealth of information on the series as well as Yoshitoshi’s life and work.
		Yoshitoshi’s second Genji print shows Murasaki Shikibu seated in the moonlight at her writing table, on a balcony at Ishiyamadera (Ishiyama Temple).
		When Yoshitoshi was considering the coloration of this design, the choice for Lady Murasaki’s robe was simple; murasaki means violet… Lady Murasaki in her violet robes was such a well-known figure that Yoshitoshi did not include her name in the title-cartouche.

	The Fitzwilliam Museum : About Yoshitoshi
		Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was the most important Japanese woodcut artist of the Meiji period (1868-1912).
		Yoshitoshi was a pupil of Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861), whose influence modelled his early work.
		Yoshitoshi's memorial poem seems to acknowledge not only his attempt to stem the tide of western culture sweeping Japan, but also his own struggle with the demons of mental illness which returned in his final years.

		Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was the last great master - and one of the great innovative and creative geniuses - of the Japanese woodblock print.
		His financial condition was still precarious, though, and in 1876, his mistress Okoto, in a gesture of devotion which is typically Japanese, but hard for us to understand, sold herself to a brothel to help him.
		Other less-common ones are almost equally good, including "Yoshitoshi's Finest Warriors", "A Collection of Desires", "Eight Elements of Honor" and "Thirty-Two Aspects of Customs and Manners" (the latter all series of bijin).

		A reevaluation began in the late 1960s, and today he is much admired along with Kiyochika and Kunichika as one of the three leading Ukiyo-e masters of the Meiji period.
