Endo Musha Morito

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

#9 Endo Musha Morito (Gorito) Approaching Kesa Gozen's Bedroom With Bad Intentions. 'Yoshitoshi musha burui (芳年 武者 旡類 - Yoshitoshi's Courageous Warriors)'; the title is often translated as 'Yoshitoshi's Warriors Trembling with Courage'. The series dates from the end of Yoshitoshi's career, when he was about forty-four. It thus dates from very shortly before his well-known masterpieces such as his great series "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" (1885-1892), and "New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts" (often called simply "Thirty-Six Ghosts") (1889-1892).

Date: (1883–1886)

Condition: Great color and impression, not backed, borders as shown.
