The second part of an eight-part series on the life and work of Mizuno Toshikata, an ukiyo-e artist and nihon-ga painter active during the turbulent Meiji period.
Thank you for these informative articles. I had never known of Toshikata before. His drawings are wonderfully detailed.
Many years ago my wife and I saw an exhibition of Yoshitoshi’s work. And the father of a friend had a collection of Yoshitoshi’s drawings which we got to see as well. I can see the influence that Yoshitoshi had on Toshikta’s style. But also how Toshikta went on to further develop himself.
Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the article! And thank you for sharing your impressions about his work - I appreciate the discussion. Yes, I agree with you. His teacher’s qualities shine through and yet he evolved his own style over time.

I am looking forward to more about him!
