Description

This is an original Meiji-era woodblock print by the renowned artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892). The piece, titled 'Kintō', is from his most celebrated series, 'One Hundred Aspects of the Moon' (Tsuki Hyakushi). It depicts the courtier and poet Fujiwara no Kintō in a serene winter scene, contemplating a verse. Published in 1887 by Akiyama Buemon, this print is a fine example of Yoshitoshi's masterful composition and subtle use of color. The print measures approximately 10 x 14 inches. It is an authentic work from the period, not a later reproduction. Please note that it has minor thinning and transfer stains along the left edge.
