Description

"Picture of Masakiyo Conquering Korea" (1864) continues Yoshitoshi's series of prints celebrating Katō Kiyomasa's exploits during the 1592 Korean invasion, depicting the warrior commander in the heat of battle. Kiyomasa was famed for his tiger hunts in the Korean mountains and his brutal siege warfare, both of which became subjects for popular prints. This 1864 composition was produced in a period of intense patriotic sentiment in Edo, as the Meiji Restoration approached and nationalistic themes gained commercial appeal.
