Beschreibung:
Yoshitoshi produced many images of valorous female figures from Japanese history, both inspirational models of behavior and vehicles for publishing pictures of beautiful women. The strongwoman Oiko, after being rudely propositioned by a wrestler, easily overpowered him. With a completely unperturbed expression, she grips his arm with an iron strength that he can’t escape. Matsuko’s sword fighting outmatched all her male opponents. Despite the similar facial expressions, the dynamic tension in Matsuko’s pose, extending past the borders of the print, contrasts with Oiko’s stoic placidity.
