Hundred Roles of Ichikawa Danjuro One of Kunichika's Best Series.
Kunichika Toyohara was called a "forgotten master" by Amy Reigle Newland in the only Kunichika biography I know of "Time Present and Time Past". During the last years of his life Kunichika designed a series of hundred kabuki roles played by one very popular actor of the time - Ichikawa Danjuro IX. Today the series is regarded as one of Kunichika's best print works.

Nobukazu Watanabe 1874-1944 Meiji Printmaker.
Nobukazu Watanabe is a typical printmaker of the late Meiji period. The haydays of ukiyo-e - traditional Japanese woodblock prints - had been over. Photography and lithography replaced more and more the old craft. Publishers and artists tried to keep themselves afloat with print subjects of the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars, images from the imperial court and history scenes.

Baido Hosai - 1848-1920 Meiji Printmaker.
Collectors of Meiji prints know names like Kunichika or Chikanobu well. Baido Hosai is not so much in the awareness of friends of Japanese woodblock prints. In my view it is time for a revaluation of this Meiji artist. Baido Hosai's triptychs of kabuki scenes are at least as good as those by his contemporary Kunichika Toyohara.
