Soon he would start to incorporate this imagery into his work, and his vivid and bloody battle scenes quickly caught the public eye. Most of Yoshitoshi's mushs-e (\"warrior pictures\") triptychs and series between 1861 and 1869 would include his trademark scenes of carnage, in particular Eimei Nijuhasshuku (1866-68), a collaboration with fellow artist Ochiai Yoshiiku. This series was an unashamed exercise in atrocity which took the concept of muzan-e (\"cruelty prints\") to new extremes of violence and gore. In 1868, Yoshitoshi was a first-hand witness to the Battle of Ueno, a cataclysmic clash which further inspired him to create new images of evisceration and decapitation.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very Fine Minus. \u003c\/strong\u003eLightly tipped corners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shinbaku Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642987446558,"sku":"RB9014","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/The-Eye-of-Atrocity.jpg?v=1784512607","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/eye-atrocity","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
