Inabayama no tsuki 1880

"Inabayama no tsuki" (Moon over Inabayama) is a woodblock print created in 1880 by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. This piece, like many of his works, features a dynamic composition, with a warrior leaning over a rocky outcropping. His posture and facial expression express a sense of urgency or tension. The large, full moon in the lower left corner adds a sense of drama and melancholy, evoking a sense of solitude and contemplation. This print is a prime example of Yoshitoshi's skill as a master of the ukiyo-e style. The detailed lines and bold colors create a vivid image of the warrior's silhouette against the moonlit night sky.
