Tsukioka Yoshitoshi: The Founder, Lord Ieyasu (No. 2)

Item Details

Description

Title: The Founder, Lord Ieyasu (No. 2)

Artist: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

Date/Period: 1870s-1890s

Dimensions: Chuban (7"x10")

Materials: Woodblock print on paper

Additional Information: Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川家康, January 31, 1543 – June 1, 1616) was the founder and first shōgun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan, which ruled Japan from 1603 until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. He was one of the three "Great Unifiers" of Japan, along with his former lord Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The son of a minor daimyo (lord), Ieyasu once lived as a hostage, on behalf of his father, under another daimyo. He later succeeded as daimyo after his father's death, serving as vassal and general under Oda Nobunaga. After Oda's death, Ieyasu was briefly a rival of fellow Oda subordinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi, before declaring allegiance to Toyotomi and fighting on his behalf. Under Toyotomi, Ieyasu was relocated to the Kanto plains in eastern Japan, away from the Toyotomi power base in Osaka. He built his castle in the fishing village of Edo (now Tokyo). He became the most powerful daimyo and the most senior officer under the Toyotomi regime.

Ieyasu preserved his strength in Toyotomi's failed attempt to conquer Korea. After Toyotomi's death, Ieyasu seized power in 1600, after the Battle of Sekigahara. He received appointment as shōgun in 1603, and voluntarily abdicated from office in 1605, but remained in power until his death in 1616. He implemented a set of careful rules known as the bakuhan system, designed to keep the daimyo and samurai in check under the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The Japanese Woodblock Print

This rare woodblock is one of the chuban (7"x10") prints cut from a vertical oban sheet. The woodblock is in very good condition, especially for its age, with strong colors, good bleed through, and only minor edge wear. There is tape residue on the verso from where it was hinged in an earlier framing. No discolorations, even color throughout. An exceptional copy of a very rare woodblock from 1875.

About the Artist

The son of a Tokyo physician, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839 - 1892) is considered one of the last great masters of ukiyo-e. As a young boy he showed remarkable talent and began to study under the renowned Kuniyoshi at the age of 12. He also studied under Yosai and was adopted by the Tsukioka family.

As modernization pushed ahead following the opening of Japan to the West, Yoshitoshi suffered a nervous breakdown in 1872, living in poverty and ceasing all artistic production. He soon resumed working, adopting the artist name Taiso. In 1885, he began one of his most acclaimed series, "100 Views of the Moon". In the spring of 1892, he suffered his final mental breakdown and was committed to the Sugamo Asylum; he died shortly of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 53.

Yoshitoshi’s prints are known for their eerie and imaginative nature. From ghost stories to folktales, graphic violence to the gentle glow of the moon, Yoshitoshi not only offers compositional and technical brilliance, but also unfettered passion.
