Tamausagi songokū

1885

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi captures a legendary clash from Chinese folklore in this dynamic woodblock print, featuring the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, brandishing his iconic red staff against a fleeing white rabbit. Set against a massive, textured full moon, the scene comes from his famous 1885 series '100 Aspects of the Moon.' The Monkey King's fierce, muscular pose contrasts sharply with the delicate, terrified Jade Rabbit, showcasing Yoshitoshi's mastery of movement and tension. As one of the last great ukiyo-e masters, Yoshitoshi was known for bringing supernatural tales to life with incredible graphic energy and psychological depth.
