Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839 - June 9, 1892), also named Taiso Yoshitoshi, was a Japanese artist. He is widely recognized as the last great master of Ukiyo-e, a type of Japanese woodblock printing. He is additionally regarded as one of the form's greatest innovators. His career spanned two eras - the last years of feudal Japan, and the first years of modern Japan following the Meiji Restoration. Like many Japanese, Yoshitoshi was interested in new things from the rest of the world, but over time he became increasingly concerned with the loss of many outstanding aspects of traditional Japanese culture, among them traditional woodblock printing.

Noh Costume (Karaori) with Court Carriages, Cherry Blossoms, and Dandelions late 18th-first half of the19th century Japan This Noh costume has unusually large motifs of courtly ox carriages (gosho-guruma), dandelions, and cherry blossoms partially covered by the opaque gold clouds typical of Genji paintings. In the Battle of the Carriages” episode in Chapter 9, Leaves of Wild Ginger” (Aoi), Lady Rokujō, feeling neglected by her lover Genji, goes to watch him participate in the procession of the Kamo Festival, but the grooms of Genji’s wife, Lady Aoi, force her carriage aside. The carriages seen here follow the festival tradition of using the heart-shaped leaves of the wild ginger plant (aoi) sacred to the Kamo Shrine as adornment. The Battle of the Carriages” is also referenced in the Noh play Lady Aoi (Aoi no Ue) by Zeami (ca. 1364-ca. 1443).. Noh Costume (Karaori) with Court Carriages, Cherry Blossoms, and Dandelions 45197

Flowers of a Hundred Worlds (Momoyogusa): White Phoenix (Hakuho), 1909-10. Kamisaka Sekka (Japanese, 1866-1942). Color woodcuts with gold and silver; sheet: 29.9 x 22.1 cm (11 3/4 x 8 11/16 in.).

The images were first distributed one by one to subscribers to the series but later were reissued in bound form, like this book, for mass consumers. Each print features a vignette taken from nature or Japanese literature. Many of the scenes have a long history in Japan, originating in the 900s or 1000s and having been interpreted by all manner of artists since that time. Sekkas selections hew closely to precedents from the Rinpa style originated by painter Tawaraya S?tatsu (c. 1570-c. 1640) and calligrapher Honami K?etsu (1558-1637).

Piece from a Noh Costume (Nuihaku) with Egret (Sagi) and Willow Tree second half of the 18th-first half of the 19th century Japan A white bird stands on the sinuous trunk of a willow tree above the waters that surge below. Egrets and herons are grouped together under the Japanese term sagi. In literature, they figure in an episode in the medieval Tale of the Heike that inspired a noh play called Sagi. In this fable, set during an imperial outing in a garden, the emperor tells one of his ministers to call a nearby sagi. At first it flies off, but upon hearing the minister summon it by imperial command, the bird returns, bowing before the emperor, who confers upon both bird and minister the honor of the fifth rank. The sagis celebratory dance is the focal point of the play.The association of the birds with this auspicious play may account for the comparatively frequent occurrence of noh costumes patterned with sagi. This textile probably came from such a costume.. Piece from a Noh Costu
