This is an artwork took the title from a legend on Toyotomi Hideyoshi in his childhood. One day, when homeless Hiyoshimaru (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) was sleeping on the Yahagi Bridge, a group of bad Samurai passed by. One of them fooled Hiyoshimaru and kicked his head. Hiyoshimaru exposed his anger and fiercely glared at the leader. The leader was Hachisu Masakatsu who later became a famous warrior. Masakatsu was impressed by Hiyoshimaru's boldness and made him a follower. This legend tells Hideyoshi's success story.
Good color and impresion. A wormhole in upper part of the left piece.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi(1839-1892) was an artist of Japanese paintings, taught by Ichiyusai or Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
He created modern ukiyo-e depicting warriors, actors and beauties and many sensational pieces. Since circa 1873, he created art pieces with unique drawing techniques based on timely topics.
His drawing technique depicting a moving motion as a stop motion can also be found in modern Manga cartoons, thus some people call him as a pioneering cartoonist.
