ARTISTS:
Utagawa Kunisada (1786 – 1864), also known as Toyokuni III, is considered one of the great masters of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and was by far the most popular, prolific and commercially successful woodblock print artist of the Edo era. During his five-decade long career, he was even more popular than his contemporaries Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi. Kunisada is known for his prints of kabuki actors, plays, beautiful women (Bijin-Ga), sumo and Genji scenes. Kunisada was an apprentice of Toyokuni I (1769-1825). He signed his prints Kunisada until 1844, after which he adopted the name Toyokuni III. He collaborated with Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi on a number of series.
Keisai Eisen (1790-1848) was a famous Edo era woodblock print artist known for pictures of beautiful women (Bijin-Ga). His best works are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818–1830). He was apprenticed to Kano Hakkeisai and also studied under Kikukawa Eizan. His initial works reflected the influence of his mentor, but he soon developed his own style.
