A woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi depicting Songoku, the Monkey King, with the Jewelled Hare against a full moon. This work exemplifies Yoshitoshi's innovative approach to the ukiyo-e style.
This woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) depicts Songoku, also known as Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from the classic Chinese novel *Journey to the West*. Yoshitoshi was a prominent Japanese printmaker of the late 19th century, known for his innovative approach to the traditional ukiyo-e style. His work often incorporated historical and mythological themes, blending them with contemporary artistic sensibilities. In this print, Songoku is shown with his staff, accompanied by the Jewelled Hare, set against a backdrop of a full moon. The composition is striking, with the figure of the Monkey King rendered in detailed lines and shading. The print exemplifies Yoshitoshi's skill in capturing dynamic movement and expression, while also demonstrating his mastery of colour and texture in the woodblock medium. The image is part of a series of prints featuring figures associated with the moon, a common theme in Japanese art and literature.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
