Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, also known as Taiso Yoshitoshi, was a Japanese printmaker who lived from 1839 to 1892, widely recognized as the last great master of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock printing and painting and regarded as one of the form's greatest innovators. His career spanned two eras, the last years of Edo period Japan and the first years of modern Japan following the Meiji Restoration, and as Japan adopted Western mass reproduction methods such as photography and lithography he continued to work in the old manner, pushing the traditional Japanese woodblock print to a new level before it effectively died with him.
