Kuniyoshi UTAGAWA - 1797-1861 Genius in the Shadow of Kunisada

Kuniyoshi Utagawa

Kuniyoshi Utagawa 1797-1861

Swimmer and Pleasure Boat

Like Kunisada, Kuniyoshi started as a pupil of Utagawa Toyokuni I. Kuniyoshi was not as popular as Kunisada during his life time and had some hard times to overcome. It is said that in his younger years he had to repair and sell floor mats to make a living. His style and subjects embrace a wide variety from landscapes, Kabuki portraits, heroic episodes to some rather bizarre prints. He also experimented somewhat with Western styles.
