Kiyochika was one of the most acclaimed artists of the Meiji period, dubbed as “Meiji’s HIroshige.” While other artists focused on literal depictions, Kiyochika took a more figurative approach, using light and shadow to create a moodier atmosphere, creating what we know today as Light Ray Paintings and sending a new wave throughout the Ukiyo-e world. He painted in multiple different genres and styles, from western realistic flowers and birds. humourous and biting satires, as well as historical events and beauty figures.
