A woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi depicting Prince Shōtoku killing Moriya no Omuraji for heresy. The dynamic composition and careful attention to detail are typical of ukiyo-e.
This woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) depicts a scene of Prince Shōtoku (574-622) killing Moriya no Omuraji for heresy. Yoshitoshi was a prominent Japanese artist of the late Edo and early Meiji periods, known for his innovative and sometimes gruesome depictions of historical and mythical subjects. His work often reflects the social and political upheavals of his time. The print shows Prince Shōtoku on horseback, drawing his bow to strike down Moriya, who is seen falling from a bridge in the background. The composition is dynamic, with the horse and rider dominating the foreground. The figures are rendered with careful attention to detail, from the patterns on their clothing to the expressions on their faces. The background includes trees and architectural elements, providing context for the dramatic event. The print's colours are typical of ukiyo-e, with a range of blues, greens, reds, and browns used to create a visually arresting image.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
