{"title":"Yoshitoshi 芳年","description":"Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was considered the last great master of ukiyo-e. He is known for his images of extreme violence and bloody imagery as well his sensitive images of esquisite beauty.  He inherited from his teacher Kuniyoshi the ability to capture the essence of a story in a single image. John Stevenson has written several books on this great master, including Yoshitoshi's major series of One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, Thirty-six Ghosts and others. As an artist, Yoshitoshi continued to innovate and build on his unique style throughout his life. He kept improving artistically as his career lengthened. Egenolf Gallery has specialized in Yoshitoshi since Herbert Egenolf published two catalogs on the artist in the 1970s.","products":[{"product_id":"yot306","title":"Yoshitoshi: The Ghost of Wicked Genta Yoshihira Attacking Namba Jiro at Nunobiki Waterfall (Sold)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tsukioka Yoshitoshi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ghost of Wicked Genta Yoshihira Attacking Namba Jiro at Nunobiki Waterfall\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e “New Forms of Thirty-six Ghosts”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1889\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMinamoto no Yoshihira was a fierce warrior who earned the name “Wicked Genta of Kamakura” as a teenager.

Kiyotaka’s ghost appears without feet as an apparition in shades of grey. He glares at her with yellow eyes, hovering on wings, which are a very unusual aspect of a Japanese ghost. (In first editions such as this example, the yellow in the eyes has had an extra layer of pigment applied, to give it an extra intensity.)

They were notorious for boisterous and daredevil behavior. Unlike other fire prints, the firemen in this print are motionless. In contrast the smoke and flames are roaring and covering the sight of the moon. The static fireman and his colleague next to him in the foreground grasp their standard, a matoi, which made of paper, leather and wood. The fireman opposite in silhouette has a different standard, belonging to other group. The fireman wears a heavy quilted jacket, which is soaked with water before he approached the flames. As seen on his right hand the hands are covered by the long sleeves for protection. On his head cover the name of group, kumi, is mentioned: the circular stands for “i” for ichi, namely the first or one. He belongs to “Group Number One.” His jacket has a character matoi, indicating that he is the troop’s standard-bearer. The smoke and flames have been given texture by splattering lime onto the paper.

Although there is still some red under-drawing on the enemy’s head, it is quite a finished drawing in all other aspects. The line is very confident. There is some western-style shading on the face, done in a soft, red-brown wash. I showed the drawing to Roger Keyes and he had no doubt as to its authenticity and that it comes directly from the hand of Yoshitoshi himself. It is very much in keeping with his other early work.

They were notorious for boisterous and daredevil behavior. Unlike other fire prints, the firemen in this print are motionless. In contrast the smoke and flames are roaring and covering the sight of the moon. The static fireman and his colleague next to him in the foreground grasp their standard, a matoi, which made of paper, leather and wood. The fireman opposite in silhouette has a different standard, belonging to other group. The fireman wears a heavy quilted jacket, which is soaked with water before he approached the flames. As seen on his right hand the hands are covered by the long sleeves for protection. On his head cover the name of group, kumi, is mentioned: the circular stands for “i” for ichi, namely the first or one. He belongs to “Group Number One.” His jacket has a character matoi, indicating that he is the troop’s standard-bearer. The smoke and flames have been given texture by splattering lime onto the paper. This lime, gofun, was  made from powdered chalk or sea shells, mixed with glue.
