YOSHITOSHI, TAISO lived from 1839 until 1892 and is considered to be one of the greatest artists of the Meiji era. He is sometimes called Tsukioka, instead of Taiso which was the name he also used. He was a student of Kuniyoshi along with Yoshiiku and, even though he was considered the greater talent, when Kuniyoshi died, he was named the heir apparent to the school. Along with Yoshiiku there were hard times until the release of his most famous and most sought after series the 100 Aspects of the Moon was released and this series about beautiful women and ghosts is still thought to be one of the truly great woodblock print series ever created. Unfortunately his great creative ability and talent had a dark side as he suffered for depression and mental illness and he died of a brain hemorage at the age of only 53.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST WORKS OF YOSHITOSHI PUBLISHED IN HIS LIFETIME as he died only two months after this scene was published. It is worthwhile noting that this scene was not published in the same order as the rest of the series. It was created by the artist in January 1887 and there is speculation that the publishers stored this scene in order to have scenes to publish when Yoshitoshi became too sick to work five years after he created this scene. He was obviously showing signs of his illness while working on this series.
