Kiyochika is regarded as one of the great masters of Japanese print-making during the Meiji period (1868-1912). He studied western drawing and painting techniques with Charles Wirgman (1832-1891), an expatriate English artist and cartoonist who contributed to the London Illustrated News and founded the first Japanese periodical magazine, the satirical Japan Punch. In addition, Kiyochika later studied traditional japanese painting with the renowned eccentric artist Kawanabe Gyosai (1831-1889).
Kiyochika synthesized Japanese drawing with Western caricature in this unusual print, which reveals the artist's caustic sense of humor.

- paper (fiber product) - Refers generally to all types of matted or felted sheets or webs of fiber formed and dried on a fine screen from a pulpy water suspension. The fibers may be animal, such as hair, silk or wool, or mineral, such as asbestos, or synthetic. However most paper is made from cellulosic plant fiber, such as from wood pulp, grass, cotton, linen, and straw.
- prints (visual works) - Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use just "prints." With regard to photographs, see "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
- temple blocks - Woodblocks used in temple rituals in China, Japan, and Korea.
- woodcuts (prints) - Prints made using the process of woodcut.
