TSUKIOKA/TAISO YOSHITOSHI (Owariya Yonejiro): 1839 - 1892 Go directly to print list Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was the last and greatest genius of traditional ukiyo-é. Born in the last years of the Tokogawa Shogunate, he lived most of his adult life in the Meiji era of modernisation. Influenced by Western art, he strove against the loss of traditional Japanese values, devoting most of his work to reminding the Japanese who he felt they were, and should be.

Yonejiro was the son of a rich merchant who had bought samurai status. Unwanted by his father's new mistress, he was given at age three to a sonless uncle, an apothecary, who raised him with love.
