Fukami Jikyu, a Japanese fictional herosimilar in reputation to England's Robin Hoodwalks proudly in his elegant kimono as cherry blossoms fall around him. Yoshitoshi creates the sense of a calm spring evening in this post-Edo period woodcut. It is from a series titled 'One Hundred Views of the Moon', for which Yoshitoshi is renowned in Japan. Alongside his signature in the cartouche at the top right of the painting, Yoshitoshi has included a short poem. Toshiyoshi's model for this 'otokodate' (fictional hero) character was a local 'kabuki' theatre actor.
