Description
This scene takes place under a full moon (which does not appear in the composition) in the Sumiyoshi Shinto shrine in Settsu province. People would visit the shrine to admire the magnificent pine tree growing there. It was said that the god poetry, to whom the shrine was dedicated, would visit the great poets who spent the night there in a dream. Such an event is depicted in this print, as the god floats above the famous thirteenth century tanka poet, Fujiwara no Sadaie or Teika, who continues to sleep on the porch.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Taiso) (1839-1892) was a Japanese artist often considered as the last great master of the ukiyo-e movement of woodblock printing and painting. The term ukiyo-e translates to "pictures of the floating world" and refers to a genre of Japanese art with a wide span of imagery such as kabuki actors, folk tales, landscapes, and even erotica. This movement was critical in forming the Western perception of Japanese art.
