Descripción: Museum of International Folk Art.
«Yoshitoshi’s series, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, completed shortly before his death in 1892, epitomizes the restraint and subtlety that define his later work. Against a backdrop of a national policy of westernization during the rule of the Meiji emperor (1868-1912), Yoshitoshi offered his audience a pilgrimage to Japan’s glorious past. Published between 1885 and 1892, this series of 100 individual woodblock prints depicts figures from Japanese and Chinese legend, history, literature, folklore and theater. Each subject is captured at a moment in time and held suspended by a poetic dialogue with the moon.»
