Tsukioka Yoshitoshi(1839-1892) is widely recognized as the last great master of Ukiyo-e. In addition, he is regarded as one of the form’s greatest innovator and an artist who was almost single handly struggle against the time and techonology for pushing the traditional Japanese woodblock prints to a new level.
This is a work based on the story of a legend of the vanquished demons in Nagano Prefecture. The depicted here is a one of the scene from the story that Tairano Koremochi who went for a hunt realized that a woman who invited him to drink Sake was actually a demon, and he tried to vanquish her.
