Tsuru Gallery invites
you to enjoy our latest exhibition, One
Hundred Views of the Moon. Produced during the years of 1885-1892,
this series represents Yoshitoshi's greatest achievement. Yoshitoshi was one of
the most famous ukiyo-e artists during Meiji Japan. In 1868, as the
Meiji restoration opened Japan to the West, many artists were concerned
with the loss of their culture. Yoshitoshi took tales from the past,
incorporated them with the wide range of human emotions, and brought to
life Japan's rich history. Mystical and intense, One Hundred Views
of the Moon leaves one to ponder the fantastical imagination of a genius.
