Description
Tokiwa Gozen Fleeing with Her Three Children in the snow. Utagawa Hiroshige, c. 1830.
Tokiwa Gozen Fleeing with Her Three Children,from the series "The Life of Yoshitsune" is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige around 1830.
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries that produced woodblock prints and paintings of individuals as female beauties, kabuki actors or sumo wrestlers and scenes from history and folk tales, travel scenes and landscapes, etc.
Woodblock printing in Japan was used in single art sheets and also for book printing during the Edo period (1603–1868). Similar to Western woodcut printmaking, it used water-based inks instead of oil-based.
