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.
