Product description
Original woodblock print - After Tsukioka Taisho Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) - "Kinsei Kyogi Den" (Stories of Chivalry in Recent Times) - 1917
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi or Taiso Yoshitoshi born in Edo 30/04/1839 - died 9/06/1892.
He is the last great master and one of the greatest and most ingenious innovators and creators of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints.
"Kinsei-Kyogi-Den" published by Yoshikawa Kobunkan in Taisho 6 (1917)
The characters (here Yoshi Tomigoro) of this series were members of two rival factions of Shimosa Province. At the start of Meiji Era the clans were led by two popular yakuza: Lioka Sukegoro and Hanzo.
As with many prints by Yoshitoshi depicting this unstable era, the series includes some images of action, violence and blood.
The Image:
Sageo no Inosuke, a legendary warrior and loyal follower of Iioka Sukegorō (an oyabun or gang leader), is known for his exceptional strength and courage. Yoshitoshi depicts him at the peak of his physical power as he defies an immense weight. The image portrays strength, determination, and unwavering loyalty. His superhuman effort symbolises the ability to overcome even the harshest ordeals. A powerful depiction of the ideal Japanese warrior: strong in both body and character.
