ARTIST: Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) was a famous artist of the Golden Age of ukiyo-e woodblock printing. He is known for his prints related to the kabuki theatre, in particular his yakusha-e actor portraits, a field which he took to new heights. At the age of 14, he became an apprentice of Utagawa Toyoharu (1735-1814), the founder of the Utagawa school. After his master’s death, Toyokuni I became the second head of the Utagawa school. His most famous pupil was Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1864), which adopted the name Toyokuni III in recognition of his master in 1845.
