Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was a prominent print designer of the [[Meiji period]], and is often considered one of the last great ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' masters.
Yoshitoshi is known for incorporating Western elements of the use of space, shading, perspective, and lighting to create a more modern ''ukiyo-e'' aesthetic. He produced countless woodblock prints and newspaper illustrations, including depictions of the [[Satsuma Rebellion]] and other events of the time. He is perhaps best known, however, for his series "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon," which featured historical and literary figures traditionally associated with the moon, from [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Emperor Kaika]] to Yûgao from the ''[[Tale of Genji]]''. This series, his largest, took seven years to complete; beginning in [[1885]], he completed the series just two months before his death in [[1892]].
His stepson and student [[Tsukioka Kogyo|Tsukioka Kôgyo]] was a significant print designer of the time as well, and is particularly known for his prints depicting scenes from the [[Noh]] theater.
