TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: KIYOMORI SEES HUNDREDS OF SKULLS AT FUKUHARABy Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), signed Yoshitoshi with seal YoshitoshiJapan, dated 1890Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed Yoshitoshi with seal Yoshitoshi; publisher Sasaki Toyokichi. Title Kiyomori Sees Hundreds of Skulls at Fukuhara, from the series Shinken sanjuroku kaisen (Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts). Taira no Kiyomori seated inside his Fukuhara mansion. The sliding shoji screen has turned into a nightmare of a giant skull with gaping black eyes. The grizzled old warrior grips his sword in a vain attempt to vanquish his demons, his unshaven face covered with stubble.SIZE of the sheet 37.4 x 25.3 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor wear, some soiling, and fading to colors. The sheet with a fold at the center which is reinforced from the back.In his quest for political power, the brutal Taira no Kiyomori killed or crushed any opponents who stood in his way. In his later years, he was haunted by his actions and began to see the spirits of those he had murdered.Yoshitoshi's last woodblock series, Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts, draws on an array of supernatural tales from both China and Japan. The images depict the weird, wonderful, and sinister ghost stories that were widely told among the Japanese population. Interestingly, this series was produced at a time when the Meiji government actively discouraged anything that contradicted Western science and rationality, leading some critics to regard this series as a criticism of the government's new ideology.Ghost stories have long been a rich source of subject for kabuki plays and Noh, which in turn would inspire ukiyo-e artists in their print making. Several of the subjects for the Thirty-six Ghosts were taken directly from Noh, whereas many more of prints were based on stories from kabuki plays.Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era (1868-1912) and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan. Museum comparison:A closely related print is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, accession number 2013.29.1344.
