This series—mainly illustrating stories from history and legend, unified by the motif of the moon—is charged with paradox. In order to carry forward the tradition of \u003ci\u003eukiyo-e\u003c\/i\u003e, Yoshitoshi drew stylistic inspiration from the very forces that were rendering it obsolete—namely, Western art and mass media like photography and lithography. As if they realized they were witnessing the end of an era, the artist's public responded enthusiastically to his innovative series—many of the individual prints were sold out on the morning of their publication.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis magnificent facsimile of \u003ci\u003eOne Hundred Aspects of the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e reproduces each print at its original size, facing an explanation of the subject. A thorough introductory text, augmented with many comparative illustrations, traces Yoshitoshi's career and the genesis of this series. Printed and bound to the most exacting specifications, this volume will be a must for aficionados of Japanese prints.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Trade Cloth","offer_id":47115748933842,"sku":"9780789213556","price":227.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/indigo-pre-prod.myshopify.com\/fr\/products\/yoshitoshi-one-hundred-aspects-of-the-moon","provider":"Indigo Pre-Prod","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
