Label TextMizuno Toshikata (1866-1908) was a Japanese style painter and print designer, as well as one of the best illustrators of his time. Having won recognition as a painter of genre subjects, he joined and exhibited with a number of the new Meiji societies for Japanese style painting (Nihonga as opposed to Western style or Yoga). As a printmaker he followed in the traditions of his teacher Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892). He designed prints with a wide variety of subjects including a number of frontispieces for novels.ProvenanceHuys den Esch, A.H.M. van Doesburg, Kerkstraat 6, 6669 DD Dodewaard, The NetherlandsOn View
