Kobayashi Kiyochika is sometimes referred to as
"Hiroshige of the Meiji era". Blending the Western and
traditional Japanese styles, he established his own style
that was novel and widely praised in the early years of
the Meiji era.
The series 'Tokyo Jiman Juni-ka-getsu: Pride of Tokyo,
Twelve Months is one of Yoshitoshi's lesser known
bijin series. A nicely executed series, it features a
calender of women, involved in various activities
associated with life in Tokyo. This series is similar in
many respects to his better known series, Twenty-Four
Hours at Shimbashi and Yanagibashi ( Shinryu nijushi
toki ) 1880.
His woodblock prints stand apart from those of the
earlier Edo period, incorporating not only Western
styles but also Western subjects, as he depicted the
introduction of such things as horse-drawn carriages,
clock towers, and railroads to Tokyo.
