Yoshitoshi, Pirate Chief, 1869


Yoshitoshi, Pirate Chief, 1869, originally uploaded by Gatochy.

A pirate chief called Gonzo stands on his ship under the moon, holding a Western revolver. When this print was made, Japan was in the process of opening its doors to the West after two centuries of self-imposed isolation, and foreign items had an exotic fascination. --- Image by © Asian Art & Archaeology, Inc./CORBIS.
