No. 18 from the series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon1886Woodblock printGift of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Libertson2000.156.0090Signed: Yoshitoshi; Series: 100 Views of the MoonPrints20461135952Tsukioka YoshitoshiThis print caricatures two townsmen who are trying to steal a large cooking pot. Because it is so big and heavy, they have brought a large mallet and saw in order to break the iron kettle into pieces. The Japanese title tsukiyo no kama indicates that the criminals are attempting their theft in clear moonlight, and is a phrase that implies stupidity. Their actions will create such a loud ruckus it is unlikely that they will get away with it.
