Utagawa Kuniyoshi
1798-1861 Japan/ukiyo-e
|
Brief Biography-Utagawa Kuniyoshi belonged to the end of the Edo Period and was a lesser-known painter. Consequently, experts only resurrected his significant works at the end of the twentieth century after being discovered in a farm building. His contemporary during his life was Hiroshige Utagawa. He was a disciple of Toyokuni Utagawa, and his most renowned students were Kunisada Utagawa, Kyosai Kawanabe and Yoshitoshi Tsukioka. As seen in his self-portrait, Kuniyoshi painted many animals, but his favourite ones to paint were cats. |
