東錦浮世稿談－幡随院長兵衛|Banzuiin Chōbei, from the series Story of Brocades of the East in the Floating World (Azuma no hana ukiyo kōdan - Banzuiin Chōbei) is a 10 ink by Yoshitoshi, a Impressionism work, depicting Drinking, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man kneeling on a wooden floor, his body twisted in a dramatic pose. His clothes are torn, revealing bloodstains and a bare shoulder. A sword lies nearby, its blade broken, while he clutches a sake jug and cup. The background is dark, with a scroll and text in red and black. The text on the scroll is Japanese, hinting at a story behind the scene. The artist used bold colors and sharp lines to show tension and movement. Look up Tsukioka Yoshitoshi to see more of his dramatic woodblock prints.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese: 月岡芳年; also named Taiso Yoshitoshi 大蘇芳年; 30 April 1839 – 9 June 1892) was a Japanese printmaker.
