The Festival takes place annually in mid-June, but involves a procession called Shinkosai in even-numbered years only; annual celebrations encompass a number of activities and celebrations over a week, including the day-long Shinkosai (also called Jinkosai) parade through Nagatachō, Chiyoda, Tokyo. (Wikipedia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Hundred Aspects of the Moon is Yoshitoshi’s final major series and is widely regarded as the culmination of his career. Issued in installments between 1885 and 1892, each design incorporates the moon as a unifying visual and thematic element - sometimes dominant and luminous, at other times partially obscured or subtly integrated into the composition. In this respect, the series invites comparison to Katsushika Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, where a single motif anchors diverse narrative and atmospheric settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subjects range across Japanese and Chinese history, literature, and legend, including warriors, court ladies, poets, monks, ghosts, and supernatural beings. Rather than presenting straightforward illustration, Yoshitoshi interprets these episodes through psychologically charged moments - often quiet, introspective scenes heightened by moonlight. The series reflects both a reverence for classical themes and a distinctly late-Meiji sensibility, combining refined draftsmanship, subtle color harmonies, and a heightened interest in emotional expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Print color saturation and overall condition is very good.
