Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 

The Gang Rape of Hisazō's Girlfriend, Omatsu, Issue #561 of the Yūbin Hōchi Shinbun. In 1875, Yoshitoshi was hired to illustrate a wide variety of mainly sensational news subjects in full color.

The publisher of the Yūbin hōchi shinbun was likely motivated by the success of his competitor, the Tokyo Daily News (Tōkyō Nichinichi Shinbun) where Yoshitoshi's rival, Yoshiiku, was employed as an artist.
