Yoshitoshi

A Mirror of Famous Generals of Japan (#19)

This series dates from a 5-6 year period in Yoshitoshi's career of much personal and financial difficulty. Although well known and reasonably productive, Yoshitoshi went through several periods where he was quite destitute and dependant upon supporters for upkeep.
