"Sato Masakiyo" is a pseudonym used to circumvent censorship laws, referring to Kato Kiyomasa. He participated in the Conquest of Shikoku as part of Hashiba Hideyoshi's rear guard, fighting against forces such as those led by Chosokabe Motochika.
Yoshitora, a disciple of Kuniyoshi, was one of the leading artists active from the late Edo period into the Meiji period. He was especially known for his Yokohama-e and Kaika-e, which depicted the novel customs and fashions emerging around the Meiji Restoration. His works included numerous depictions of foreign landscapes unfamiliar to most Japanese of the time. Shopping Guide & Information
