Yoshitoshi depicts the Taoist adept Wu Gang, condemned to endlessly cut down the ever-regrowing trees after using his powers for evil. Rather than depict his suffering, Wu Gang is shown gazing in wonder at the moon while standing upon a bed of clouds. The negative space surrounding Wu Gang is blind printed with a pattern for additional depth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSeries: One-Hundred Aspects of the Moon\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1886\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSize: Oban\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Akiyama Buemon\u003cbr\u003eCondition: \u003cspan\u003eLight soiling to sheet on bottom, otherwise excellent color and condition with full margins, unbacked\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrame Shown: 16\" x 24\" x 1\/2\", Modern Metal, Walnut\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewas a master painter and woodblock print artist whose works have made an indelible mark on Japanese art and design to this day.
