Courageous Warriors (Musha burui): 14: Hino Kumawaka and the priest calling back the boat, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, artist, 1883-1886, Tokyo, Tsukioka Yoshitoshis (1839-1892) career spanned the late Edo and early Meiji periods. He trained in the ie studio of Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861). His early works gave late Utagawa school theatricality an even greater sense of energy. A taste for lurid melodrama became progressively grotesque as he experienced periods of depression and hospitalisation that interrupted his professional activities. Two events provided opportunities for his professional revival. The first was the opportunity to design overtly anti-foreign patriotic reportage illustrations for newspaper and journal inserts in publications like Yamato Shinbun. The second was the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877, much celebrated in the film The Last Samurai, which ended in their tragic defeat.
