This woodblock print, published in 1887 (Meiji 20), is a supreme masterwork from the historic, late-career series "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" (Tsuki hyakushi) by the immortal genius Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892). the historical rogue-turned-monk Fukami Jikyū (originally Fukami Jūza), a notorious 17th-century otokodate (street knight or gang leader) in Edo who later renounced his violent life. The print captures a moment of intense, quiet theatrical swagger, beautifully summarizing Jikyū's transition with a famous haiku written by the warrior himself: "The bright moon comes / and ostentatiously shows off / its forehead."
