Yoshitoshi (1839 - 1892) Japanese Woodblock reprint Moon of Pure Snow at Asano River Comments- This print is considered one of the best of the series. Chikako, desperate to win the release of he beloved father from prison, commits suicide by jumping into the Asano river on a snowy night. This print illustrates a true story of devotion and tragedy from 19th century Japan. Yoshitoshi's design is captivating. The strong colors of her robes contrast with the wintry white of the rest of the scene. The birds in flight are beautifully drawn as are the girl's robes and obi. An incredible print, definitely one of the best of Yoshitoshi's career. This print is a 20th century woodblock reproduction of Yoshitoshi's wonderful "Moon of Pure Snow at Asano River." It stands out in it's fantastic detail, wonderful soft color (emulating the original) and beautiful print quality. The 100 Moon
