Artist: Utagawa Kuniyoshi (歌川国芳) (Japanese, 1797-1861)
Print artist. Pupil of Utagawa Toyokuni. One of the three principal 'Ukiyo-e' artists of the late Edo period, together with Kunisada (Toyokuni III) and Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi is particularly noted for his warrior prints and prints of bizarre and comic subjects. He also did fine Western-style landscape prints during the 1830s and early 40s. Kuniyoshi had an extremely fertile imagination and produced a steady stream of novel innovations: he served as a source of vital energy in the late 'Ukiyo-e' world.
