Description
Mountain Moon after Rain
This great, original Yoshitoshi print is an illustration of the story of the Sogo brothers, two brothers set on revenge for the death of their father. The image illustrates Goro Tokimune as a handsome young man right before he commits his act of revenge. The figure is beautifully drawn with incredible detail. Goro is seen clutching his sword. He has spotted a Japanese cuckoo flying in front of the crescent moon. The bird traditionally calls spirits into the next world- a foreshadowing of what is to occur. Yoshitoshi's design is captivating. The proud figure of Goro, the sliver of crescent moon and the bird combine beautifully to illustrate this great Japanese tale. A fantastic Yoshitoshi design. Great artist's masterwork and terrific choice for someone interested in the samurai tradition, detailed with touches of burnishing and a dusting of mica across the night sky.
