Inhaltsangabe

Muzan-e (cruel pictures'') and Chimidoro-e (''bloody pictures'') together constitute a significant strand of Ukiyo-e, the populist art of late Edo-period Japan. Yoshiiku''s contributions to this series are matched in horror by many other of his prints, ranging from illustrations of misogynistic murder to kabuki scenes of torture and images of warriors harvesting severed heads in battle. These gory pictures were also produced by other artists, including Kunisada, Kuniyoshi, Yoshitoshi, Yoshiyuki, Kunichika and the unsung creators of garish Osaka sex-crime news-sheets.''

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833 - 1904) was a leading ukiyo-e artist and pupil of the master Kuniyoshi. He enjoyed a great rivalry with co-pupil Yoshitoshi, and in 1868 the pair collaborated on the notorious atrocity series Eimei Nijuhasshuku. In 1874 Yoshiiku was co-founder of the Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shinbun, a renowned illustrated broadsheet.

NISHIKI-E: BLOOD ON THE STREETSThe garish illustrated news broadsheets known as shinbun nishiki-e were highly popular between 1874 and 1877, before slowly waning until their eventual demise in the 1880s. Among the main imprints under which they appeared were the Tokyo Nichinichi Shinbun, the Yubin Hochi Shinbun — for which Yoshitoshi executed a large number of commissions — and the Osaka Nichinichi Shinbun. These were the tabloids of their day, serving up picture-led bizarre or lurid stories for instant mass consumption. This sensationalism reached a peak with the publication in April 1875 by the Osaka Nichinichi Shinbun of a story known as the "Sashimi Murder-Suicide Case", with an explicitly gory image to accompany the outrageous text. In this exceptionally grotesque incident, a man in Tatsuno started sleeping with the family maid every night; consumed by jealousy, his wife finally snapped and butchered the girl with a carving-knife, cutting out her vulva and slicing it up as sashimi, which she fed to her husband upon his return. As he unwittingly devoured his concubine's raw labia, his wife committed hara-kiri (suicide by self-disembowelment). Although a true story, the print was quickly suppressed by the censor after much negative attention. Generally cruder than their Tokyo counterparts, Osaka newsheets were often more bloody, even featuring occasional nudity; associated artists included Yoshitaki, Sadanobu II, Shigehiro, and Yoshimitsu. ...
