Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, "From the Ryogoku Bridge"

This rare triptych by the great Tsukioka Yoshitoshi shows a lively and active day on Tokyo's Ryogoku bridge, which spans the Sumida river. A popular subject in Japanese woodblock prints throughout the ukiyo-e period, the print shows leisure boats, horse-drawn carriages, and families throughout. A pupil of Kuniyoshi, Yoshitoshi is considered the last of the great ukiyo-e period artists. This fine print is a prime example of Yoshitoshi's earlier work.
