		Kunisada’s earliest woodcuts date from 1809 and he quickly established himself as a master of figure and character studies.
		Because of his chronological changes of signatures, Kunisada’s woodcuts are not difficult to date: his first works were signed, ‘Ichiyusai Kunisada’, and bear the definite influence of his master.
		Generally, most of Kunisada’s greatest woodcuts are the single, full-length portrayals of men and women he created during the period he signed with the name, ‘Gototei Kunisada’.

	Viewing Japanese Prints:
		Utagawa Kunisada was the most celebrated actor-print designer of the nineteenth century, and certainly the most prolific.
		In 1852 an extraordinary demand developed for figure prints with background landscapes, and Kunisada and his publishers responded, producing in a single year at least eleven series with as many as 400 total designs - an amazing frenzy of printmaking for one genre by one artist within so short a time span.
		Kunisada's portrait captures the powerful stage presence of Ebizô, who was one of the most spectacularly gifted actors in Kabuki's long history.

		Gototei Kunisada had managed to attain a high position as author of paintings of beautiful women and his decision was announced presumably with the approval of the more important students and in their presence.
		Kunisada worked for over fifty years but his works dating to the second decade of the 18th century are considered to be his best, characterized by ease and freshness.
		In his paintings of women Kunisada often ignored accuracy of detail; the feet of his courtesans are as a rule exaggeratedly raised, the bodies lack logical proportions and their curves and convolutions are unnatural.

		Kunisada set the tone for the series by producing an exceptionally fine group of actor portraits.
		He also provided models for the depiction of 'onnagata' ("woman's manner," male actors in female roles) in the late Utagawa style, wherein the strong and sometimes unappealing features of male physiognomy were presented realistically.
		See the figure on the left, where Kunisada depicted the same actor as in Yoshitora's design (in this case, however, the inscription on the print indicates his lifetime stage name, Bandô Shuka), who plays the role of Hashimotoya in the play 'Kasanetsuna uru sayogime' at the Ichimura Theater, 3/1852.

		Although Kunisada is known for his actor-prints and although his output of landscape-prints was extremely limited, he has shown that he could rise to greatness in both areas.

	Questions and Answers about Ukiyo-e
		However, if you see the name Kunisada in the toshidama frame, the artist is most probably Kunisada's pupil and son-in-law, generally known as Kunisada II (1823-1880), who after his master's death also took the name of Toyokuni, as did Kunisada III (1848-1920).
		When he took the name of Toyokuni, aspiring to be the new leader of the Utagawa school after the death of his master, some of the other members challenged his leadership, and it seems that he changed his name again after a few years.
		Most of the prints by Toyokuni II are signed with the name Toyokuni only, and as his style is very similar to that of his master, it can sometimes be very difficult to tell their actor portraits apart.

	Painting Schools and Art-Names ('Go')
		For example, Kunisada (once he had changed his art-name to Toyokuni) made a habit of signing his prints with his signature inside an elongated oval version of the toshidama (literally, 'New Year's Jewel') seal of the Utagawa school, an unusual cartouche with the zig-zag in the upper right-hand corner.
		Thus, Kunisada I (for he had pupils who in turn used his go) is also known as Toyokuni III, since he was the third artist to sign with that go.
		When Kunisada I took over the art-name Toyokuni (in about 1842), he "removed" Toyokuni II from house history and for a period actually signed as "Toyokuni II".
