Tsukioka Yoshitoshi - Complete List of Print Series (by date) (2025)

The tables below are a detailed listing of all known Yoshitoshi print series(i.e. not including individual prints, but including multi-panel printseries). They give information on titles, dates, format, and the number ofprints in the series; in addition, it notes their series numbers inKeyes and"Beauty and Violence".We use Keyes' numbers to organize the prints on the site.

NOTE: This table is currently drawn in considerable part from data in Keyes'thesis. As we slowly add images (and ones large enough to read the charactersin the captions), we will cross-check his information.

Title Kanji

Thekan-jigiven are those used by Yoshitoshi in the title cartouche. (For prints fromseries which we have not seen, the kanji are those given in Keyes, but there maybe some errors in transcription; see below.)

Due to the post-WWII simplification of written Japanese, the kanji nowcommonly used in Japanese publications about his work are sometimesdifferent, simplified, forms; if so, they are given in '()' brackets. (Insome cases, Yoshitoshi seems to have deliberately used alternative characterswith the same reading, as a sort of visual pun of the kind on sometimes findsin Japanese. In such cases, the 'normal' characters are also given in '()'brackets.)

The copy of Keyes' thesis used to prepare this page was not a high-resolutioncopy, and some of the characters are difficult to see clearly in it;it is possible an incorrect character was occasionally selected.Alternative possibilities are given with a '/' between them.

Dates

When a series took more than one month to come out, the dates givenare the earliest and latest known prints from the series.

Note that prior to 1873, the dates are given in theJapanese lunar calendarused at that point, so a date such as '1860 (4)' is notApril, 1860. Months marked as 'I' areintercalarymonths.

For dates after the switch to the solar calendar, and the new system ofdate seals, the day and month are given, not just the month.

Formats

Yoshitoshi usually used the largerō-banformat for his prints; he used the smallerchū-banformat mostly for comic prints and prints intended for children. Many aremulti-panel prints; when so, this is indicated as 'diptych', 'triptych', etc.

Almost all of Yoshitoshi's ōban prints are in a verticalorientiation; a series listed as being in "ōban" format, with no othermodifier, means 'vertical ōban'. Similarly, most chūbanprints are in a horizontal orientiation, and a series listed as being in"chūban" format, with no other modifier, means 'horizontal chūban'

Series Sizes

Where known, the number of prints in a series is shown. Where a series doesnot have any fixed number of prints, and we are unsure whether more printsremain to be discovered, we show the number of prints we currently havedisplayed, marked with a terminal '?'. If some prints in a series are knownfrom written sources only, e.g. the list in Keyes, we list them in the form'm+n', where 'm' are the prints we have displayed, and 'n' are the numberknown only from written sources. Counts given by Keyes, but not otherwiseverified, are marked with a terminal 'K'.

Some series include one of more title pages or other supernumerary prints;such series use an '&' to delineate the supernumerary prints. Some series arecollaborations with other artists; if so we only list the number of printsdone by Yoshitoshi, not the size of the complete series. Such series aremarked with a '#' in the count.

Tables

This list is based on the one in Keyes; he recorded a number of series whichhe had not seen himself, but which he had found listed in other sources. (Seepp. 336-337 of this thesis for a discussion of these sources, and theirreliability.) Unless we have found prints from such series, to verify that itactually exists (e.g. that it is not a duplicate listing for another seriesalready listed here), these entries are marked with a '*' character next tothe Keyes number. In a few cases (such as series 233), Keyes is uncertain asto the correct series title, and we give all the variants he lists.
