| T850073 | Yoshitoshi | "Tsukioka (his legal name was Tsukioka Yonejiro, but he was also known as ""Taiso"" (Great Rebirth) and Yonejiro." | "(The Heavy Basket), indicated by shaded pink and yellow block at the top right. This print illustrates a popular folk tale in Japan, in which a sparrow punishes a greedy old woman by giving her a basket of demons. Here, you see the wrinkled, contorted form of the old woman, naked from the waist up, screaming at the demons that erupt from a large basket on the right, all portrayed aginst a shaded grey background. The details of the scene are rich and typical of Yoshitoshi's style; one notices even the eyes drawn on the woven basket, further animating the subject matter. The central demon is Mitsune Kozo, also known from several other Japanese folk tales. The other three unnamed demons are excellent examples of the artist's vivid imagination and attention to form. Yoshitoshi's style can be summed up as detailed, richly colored scenes, using quick, calligraphic and sharp outlines, typical of his mature style (1880-1892). Yoshitoshi is considered the last great master of the traditional ukiyo-e woodblock style. Apprenticed to Kuniyoshi and age 11 in 1850, Yoshitoshi began his career depicting famous battle scenes, following his master's style of gruesome, bloody and morbid subjects. Yoshitoshi held a fascination with the morose and occult throughout his lifetime, and many works are devoted to those subjects. Despite suffering from depression, illness and poverty for much of his adult career, he was still able to achieve fame and recognition. Although considered an innovative and creative stylist, Yoshitoshi maintained tradional ties through subject matter and is remembered as a keeper of the ukiyo-e tradition." | "Woodcut/color This type of print, using up to fifteen different colors, is called ""nishiki-e"", (brocade picture)." | "1892, written on bottom left margin. Note: This print was finished, cut and published posthumously by Yoshitoshi's associates, following his death in July 1892." |
