Courageous Warriors (Musha burui): 14: Hino Kumawaka and the priest calling back the boat, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, artist, 1883-1886, Tokyo, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s (1839-1892) career spanned the late Edo and early Meiji periods. He trained in the ie ‘studio’ of Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861). His early works gave late Utagawa school theatricality an even greater sense of energy. A taste for lurid melodrama became progressively grotesque as he experienced periods of depression and hospitalisation that interrupted his professional activities.
