This print shows the 16th-century warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi blowing a conch-shell signaling the attack on the fortress on Shizugatake Hill. This battle took place in 1583 and was an important victory for Hideyoshi’s army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Hundred Aspects of the Moo\u003c\/strong\u003en 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\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good impression and color.
