Tsukioka Yoshitoshi is widely recognised as the last great master of the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese woodblock printing and painting. Printed in batches between 1885 and 1892, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is a series of 100 woodblock prints, featuring famous historical and literary figures in various moonlit scenes.

Created as part of the series in 1885, Cooling off at Shijō depicts a teahouse waitress relaxing by the water under the full moon. Shijō refers to a restaurant area in Kyoto that is situated along the Kamo River and the glimpses of her red undergarment, was seen as rather risqué at the time. The lamp beside her is emblazoned with the crest of her teahouse and her summer robe has the pattern of 'chidori' ('sea plovers'), the insignia of the geisha from Kyoto’s Pontochō entertainment district.

Featuring an off-white mat board border, this beautiful Cooling off at Shijō print fits a standard A3 sized frame and is available exclusively from the Gallery Shop.
