28 Mar / One Hundred Aspects of the Moon: Japanese Woodblock Prints by Yoshitoshi by Tamara Tjardes [in AsianWeek]
A stunning compilation of woodblock prints by Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), considered Japan’s last master of the ukiyo-e (“floating world”) woodprint, who is most renowned for his One Hundred Aspects of the Moon series. All 100 prints are compiled here – the only complete set of the series, marking the result of a 26-year endeavor – with careful exposition and translation.
