Lua cheia sobre o castelo
1880
Meet Chang'e, the legendary moon goddess, caught mid-flight in this stunning woodblock print by the ukiyo-e master Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. Clutching a small jar of the elixir of immortality, she floats gracefully above swirling dark clouds, her elaborate pink and blue robes dancing in the celestial wind. Created in 1880 as part of his famous series 'One Hundred Aspects of the Moon', this piece illustrates the myth where Chang'e drinks the potion and ascends to the moon, leaving her husband behind. Yoshitoshi's vibrant colors and dynamic composition make this ancient tale of love and sacrifice feel incredibly alive.
