The Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III) - Project |
|
My first Japanese
woodblock print reproduction I bought aged 15 in the year 1970. In the
following two decades I read some books about Japanese woodblock prints
and occasionally bought a new print. Where I
looked for prints, fleamarkets or auctions, I always could find prints by
Kunisada, but I couldn’t find any literature about him. When he was
mentioned in literature
he was regarded as
rather inferior to the greats of classical ukiyo-e.

The site displays c. 4.500 prints, mostly ordered by series.
|
|||
You also can find a list of around 1100 identified series (Kunisada’s series list), a reference list (books and internet sites), a site with Kunisada’s signatures and seals , a list of kabuki actors portrayed by Kunisada and a list of kabuki plays illustrated by Kunisada. |
