Original Description
Under the ethereal glow of a full moon, Fujiwara no Yasumasa stands immortalized in Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s iconic ukiyo-e woodblock print (1883), his silhouette framed by gnarled pine branches as he plays the flute in solitary reverie. The artwork exemplifies Yoshitoshi’s mastery of bijin-ga (beautiful person painting) and supernatural themes, blending delicate lyricism with eerie stillness. Moonlight spills in silver gradients over Yasumasa’s flowing robes, contrasting with the deep indigo night—a hallmark of Yoshitoshi’s late-career experiments in moody, Western-influenced coloration. As one of the One Hundred Aspects of the Moon series, this print reflects Japan’s Meiji-era tension between tradition and modernity, earning Yoshitoshi recognition as the last great ukiyo-e innovator. Its poetic symbolism—loneliness, artistic devotion, and nature’s majesty—cements its status as a pinnacle of Japanese fin-de-siècle art.
For interior styling, lean into the print’s contemplative elegance by placing it in a study or quiet lounge area. A matte black or dark walnut frame will intensify the moonlight’s luminosity, while avoiding ornate carvings preserves its minimalist potency. Ideal for accent walls painted in nurude (Japanese milk-white) or faint sage green, its 14×9 inch composition suits intimate spaces—pair with low-line furniture like a muted tansu chest or Shaker-style bench. Introduce texture through woven rattan lighting or a cerulean-glazed ceramic vase to echo the print’s indigo undertones. In offices, position it near reading nooks to channel its meditative energy, contrasting with sleek metal desks for a harmonious East-meets-West dynamic. The artwork’s vertical format demands breathing room; avoid cluttered arrangements to let its lunar mystique shine.
