"The father returns from military duty" from "Kyokun Zen-aku Zukai (Pictoral Explanations of the Teachings of Good and Evil)"; chuban yoko-e (6½" x 8¼"). Signed by Yoshitoshi LR; ca. 1880. Condition of print: good to very good; vivid colors; full margins; slight toning; small scratch in UR background wall; white tape across top margin, not touching image. This ia a chuban-sized print from Yoshitoshi's charming set on Meiji morals. The strange, ghost-like figures hovering around the characters are the spirits of good and evil (here all good) who push the characters into certain actions and applaud when they follow. The scene here shows the father, who wears the uniform of a military commander, returning to his family, who bow down before him. The words of the conversation are written on the pale green flooring.
