Tsuki no Hyakushi (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon)
Tsuki hyakushi (One hundred aspects of the moon) is a collection of 100 large, moon-themed nishiki-e (multicolored woodblock prints) by TSUKIOKA Yoshitoshi (1839−92). They depict various aspects of the moon, drawing upon Japanese and Chinese anecdotes, historical events, and mythology, and relate to a wide range of subjects, including famous warriors, notable women, birds and animals, and goblins and ghosts.
TSUKIOKA Yoshitoshi was an ukiyo-e artist from the school of UTAGAWA Kuniyoshi (1797-1861), active from the Bakumatsu (final years of the Shogunate) into the Meiji Period. He created a wide range of works, including bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), fuzoku-ga (pictures of manners and customs), and pictures of historical and literary characters.
