Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was the last great woodblock artist in the tradition of Japanese ukiyo-e, and the One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is considered his greatest creation. The series brings to life the history and mythology of ancient Japan. In all prints the moon plays a prominent role, sometimes it is clearly visible, sometimes it is referred to only in the beautiful poems of the text cartouches.
