A court lady leans over a tall paper lantern stand

A court lady in a white kimono patterned with wisteria bends over a tall red lantern stand holding a round paper lantern striped in red and white, red cords falling from her sleeve. Behind her hang a deep red curtain and an indigo curtain printed with green pines, and a red maple branch reaches in at the upper right above a pale blue pond. A red-and-blue lidded box with purple tassels holds a small gold figure. A grey series panel and a yellow name cartouche flank her.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892) was the last major master of ukiyo-e, working through the upheaval of the Meiji era. A pupil of Kuniyoshi, he moved from violent early war prints to the psychological intensity of his mature series — One Hundred Aspects of the Moon (1885–92) and New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts — in which history, legend and theatre are staged by moonlight. His draughtsmanship and unusual use of colour carried the woodblock print into the modern period. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
