Only A Postcard, But Who's The Artist?

Hi all,

 

Maybe this is a wild request, but I sincerely hope someone here will be able to help me out.

I found this old postcard and am mesmerised by the artistic quality of the image.

I practice Iaido and the image -in only a few simple lines-perfectly represents to me the total determination before a lethal cut.

Since it is a postcard and the image is so stunning, I'm supposing it is a reprint of a famous ukiyo-e?

So, if my assumptions are correct, I would love to find out more about the artist...

 

Looking forward to your replies

 

Wouter

Thank you, Steve.

It was a wild request and I am in awe for your knowledge and most obliged for your very swift reply.

This sheds a  whole new light on it, a whole new area to discover, but not changing the fact that I totally admire how the artist captured that expression.

Cheers

 

Wouter
