Moon and Smoke (Enchu no tsuki), from the series
EDITORS COMMENTS
One Hundred Aspects of the Moon (Tsuki hyaku sugata)", 1886, is a captivating woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. This mesmerizing artwork transports viewers to 19th century Japan, where traditional dress and artistic mastery intertwine. In this scene, a man stands amidst billowing flames engulfing a brick structure. The intensity of the fire contrasts with the serene glow of a full moon illuminating the night sky. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every element, from the vibrant orange flames to the intricate patterns adorning the man's robe. The composition evokes both awe and curiosity as we witness an unusual juxtaposition between destruction and celestial beauty. It invites contemplation on themes such as astronomy, science, and our place within nature's grand design. Yoshitoshi expertly captures not only physical details but also emotions through his portrayal of clothing and facial expressions. The man's traditional kimono signifies his connection to Japanese heritage while adding visual interest with its patterned design. As part of "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" this print showcases Yoshitoshi's mastery in ukiyo-e printing technique—a popular art form during Japan's Meiji era. Its inclusion in prestigious institutions like Art Institute Chicago testifies to its enduring appeal among art enthusiasts worldwide. "Moon and Smoke" serves as a testament to Yoshitoshi's talent for merging tradition
