Daimotsu kaijō no tsuki 1886

"Daimotsu kaijō no tsuki" (1886) is a woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892). It depicts a dramatic scene of a lone warrior battling a fierce storm at sea, highlighting the artist's signature use of dynamic composition and bold lines. The swirling waves and dark clouds create a sense of urgency and danger, while the moon's soft glow illuminates the warrior's defiant posture. This work exemplifies Yoshitoshi's skill in capturing the intensity of Japanese mythology and history through the medium of ukiyo-e art.
