Toshihide Migita was a painter, illustrator, and woodblock print designer active during the Meiji period. At the age of 17, he delved into Western-style painting and became a pupil of the esteemed Meiji woodblock artist Yoshitoshi (Taiso) Tsukioka. Toshihide Migita was prolific both as a painter and a woodblock printmaker, specialising in traditional ukiyo-e style. He gained prominence for his extensive collection of war prints (senso-e) depicting the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars. His repertoire extended to actor prints (Danjuro) and a limited series of bijin-e (images of beautiful women). Engaging in woodblock printmaking during the late Meiji period, Migita also contributed to kuchi-e illustrations. Additionally, he served as a mentor to numerous Taisho and Showa era artists, including Terukata Gyokudo (Ikeda) (1883-1921), Shoen Ikeda (1886-1917), Kiyokata Kaburagi (1878-1972), and Eiho Hirezaki (1881-1968).
