YOSHITORA. Samanosuke destroys the castle of Atsumi. Triptych.

Colored woodcuts of 360x740 mm. Title in orange cartouche at the top right, under the signatures and seals. Sign.: Ichimosai Yoshitora ga. Publisher: Aritaya. Censored by Fuku and Muramatsu. Good impression, small folds. Important triptych of woodblock prints produced, in a period between 1847 and 1852, by the publisher Aritaya Seiemon, owner of Yueido. The work is entitled “The Brave Warrior Samanosuke Destroys the Enemy Castle of Atsumi by Bombardment” and is signed “Ichimosai Yoshitora ga”.The “Castle of Atsumi” is a fictitious name that the artist used to circumvent the censorship, which prohibited explicit references to the events concerning the Tokugawa or the Daimyo and which had occurred from the Tensho era. The circumstance depicted is, in fact, that of the attack led by Akechi Hidemitsu, a samurai in the service of Akechi Mitsuhide, on Azuchi Castle, residence of the Oda clan, following the famous Honno-ji Incident, which took place on June 21, 1582.Utagawa Yoshitora, born in Edo, was active as a ukiyo-e artist from about 1850 to about 1880. He was the oldest pupil of Utagawa Kuniyoshi and excelled in prints of warriors, kabuki actors, beautiful women, and foreigners (Yokohama-e). Yoshitora was prolific: he produced over 60 print series and illustrated over 100 books. From the 1860s Yoshitora produced Yokohama-e pictures of foreigners amid rapid modernization that came to Japan after the country was opened to trade. He collaborated on a number of landscape series, and in the Meiji period that began in 1868 he also worked in newspapers. The last of his known works appeared in 1882.
