UTAGAWA KUNISADA was born in the Honjo district of Edo in 1786. He entered the school of Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825), the leading actor-print designer of his time, around 1800 as apprentice at the age of fourteen. His first printed works began to appear in late 1807. When Toyokuni II died in 1835, ten years after the master, Kunisada was entitled to use the name Toyokuni III and his recorded signatures in versions sometimes with both names number over 200. Not all have so far been documented. He was one of the most highly respected artists of his time and he died in 1865.
