Utagawa Kuniyoshi

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1 January 1798 – 14 April 1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting. He was a member of the Utagawa school. The range of Kuniyoshi's subjects included many genres: landscapes, women, Kabuki actors, cats, and mythical animals. He is known for depictions of the battles of legendary samurai heroes. His artwork incorporated aspects of Western representation in landscape painting and caricature.

He studied under Tsutsumi Torin III, Katsukawa Shuntei, and Utagawa Toyokuni I. He worked primarily in portrait.

His oeuvre belongs more precisely to the Fukei Ga current.
