| Yoshiiku: Hyakumonogatari Ameonna |
Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833-1904), also known as Ochiai Yoshiiku, was one of Kuniyoshi's many students. He made portraits, bijinga, musha-e and satire. Yoshiiku also created newspaper illustrations and was a co-founder of the newspaper Tokyo E-iri Shinbun (folded in 1889).
In co-operation with Yoshitoshi, Yoshiiku also created the series Eimei nijūhasshūku - Twenty-eight famous murders, which officially started the subgenre of ukiyo-e that is called muzan-e.
The print this week is Hyakumonogatari Ameonna (a female rain spirit), from 1890.
