TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: RIDING IN A WASH TUB TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: RIDING IN A WASH TUB By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892), signed Yoshitoshi with seal Yoshitoshi Japan, 1886 Color woodblock print on paper. Oban diptych. Signed Yoshitoshi with seal Yoshitoshi; publisher Tsunashima Kamekichi. Titled Riding a Wash Tub, from the series Shinsen Azuma Nishiki-e (New Selections of Eastern Brocade Pictures). One of Tokugawa Ieyasu's most trusted generals and advisors, Okubo Hikozaemon is shown here being carried to the Shogun's castle in a wooden washtub suspended from a pole carried by two porters. He did this as a form of protest over the order prohibiting those below a certain rank from riding in palanquins. Bystanders laugh and point at the eccentric old man as he passes by in his unusual conveyance. SIZE 49.5 x 39.1 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and slight yellowing of paper. Good impression and vivid colors. Minor stains and creasing along the borders. Gently mounted together with tape. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era (1868-1912) and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan.
