Biographical / Historical:
Toshikata Mizuno (1866-108) was a painter and illustrator best known for genre subjects treated in a modified ukiyo-e manner with Shijō style. Toshikata was born in Edo (Tokyo) and began his study of ukiyo-e at the age of fourteen. In 1887, he joined the newspaper Yamato shinbun as an illustrator. He also produced several lithographs for the literary magazine Shinshosetsu and senso-e (war prints) during the Sino-Japanese war. In 1900 he organized a group of painter friends, called Ugōkai, and aimed at improving the art of ukiyo-e. Toshikata died in Tokyo in April 1908.
