Toyokuni III

	Japanese Woodblock Prints
		Toyokuni was born in 1769 and was the son of a doll carver and puppet maker -Kurohashi Gorobei.
		Toyokuni studied printmaking, and as his career began he spent most of his concentration on the images of beautiful women; this is known as bijin-ga. Toyokuni’s early works were known to be influenced by Shigemasa and Kiyonaga.
		The interesting fact about Toyokuni was that it wasn’t so much that he had a genius in his work, as it was his commitment to create a new style from the great artists that had come before him.

	Toyokuni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toyokuni was apprenticed to the first head of the Utagawa house, Utagawa Toyoharu, whom his father knew well and who lived nearby, at about the age of 14.
		Toyokuni seems not to have been an intuitive genius determined to forge a new path; rather, he seems to have studied intently those who came before him, particularly Utamaro, and through a great deal of hard work produced first a mastery, and then a synthesis of their styles, and created a style of his own.
		Toyokuni's two major pupils were the woodblock print masters Kunisada and Kuniyoshi, but he had a host of students in his school.

	Utagawa Toyokuni
		Toyokuni Utagawa was one of the great printmakers of the late 18th century who made himself known by his ukiyo-e of beautiful women and later of actors.
		Toyokuni was born as the son of a puppet maker.
		After the death of Toyokuni in 1825, two of his pupils rivaled about who had the right to become his successor - the conceited Kunisada, who considered himself the greatest on earth anyway, and Toyoshige, a mediocre printmaker who had the advantage of having married the deceased master's daughter.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: Toyokuni
		Toyokuni's series of more than fifty designs, 'Yakusha butai no sugata-e' ("Pictures of Actors on the Stage"), issued from 1794-96, was an important achievement in full-length actor portraiture, with the earliest examples just preceding the work of Sharaku (whom Toyokuni has so often been accused of imitating).
		Toyokuni's drawing style became the standard for nineteenth-century actor portraiture, whose principles were set down in his one-volume book 'Yakusha nigao haya-geiko' ("Quick Instruction in the Drawing of Actor Likenesses") published in 1817.
		Toyokuni and his pupils, especially Kunisada and Kuniyoshi, dominated their field during the first sixty years of the nineteenth century.

	Kunisada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His early sketches at that time impressed Toyokuni, the great master of the Utagawa school and prominent designer of kabuki and actor-portrait prints.
		In 1809 he was referred to in contemporary sources as the “star attraction” of the Utagawa school, and soon thereafter was considered as at least equal to his teacher Toyokuni in the area of book illustration.
		The question is unsettled as to why he intentionally ignored the fact that Toyoshige (pupil and son-in-law of Toyokuni I) had borne the name “Toyokuni”, as legitimate head of the Utagawa school, from 1825 until his own death in 1835.

	Hiroshige - Stewart Guide to Japanese Prints
		Toyokuni's powers as the designer of actor-prints will be more fully considered in a later chapter dealing with actor-portraits in general as a subject of illustration.
		Toyokuni's prints being fairly numerous, prices range from thirty or forty shillings or so for relatively unimportant single sheets, to £7 or £10 for good examples of his early work, up to £40 or £60 for particularly fine triptychs.
		His work is of a quality equal to, if it does not surpass, that of Toyokuni at his best, while at the same time he did not allow it to deteriorate in the manner that the latter did in his efforts to cope with the demand for his prints.

	Japanese Woodblock Prints, Utagawa Toyokuni (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There are several real masterpieces among his early prints -- both his bijinga and his actor portraits, but as the years went by there was a marked deterioration of quality in terms of both design and printing.
		Toyokuni worked in many fields, but it was in the portrayal of Kabuki actors that he made his greatest name, dominating the field for nearly three decades.
		In 1796, pictures by Sharaku were already forgotten and Toyokuni's fame was on the rise.

		This era produced some of the best Ukiyo-e artists, like Utamaro or Kunisada’s future teacher and founder of the Utagawa School Toyokuni I. By the age of nineteen, he was under the tutelage of Toyokuni, gaining recognition for his talent in reproduction of pictures.
		He did this in recognition of his deceased teacher (Toyokuni I), which ignored the prior claim of Toyokuni I’s adopted son Gosotei Toyokuni.
		Although Kunisada was the head of the Toyokuni school, Kuniyoshi was by far the better artist.

	Toyokuni - Japanese woodblock print master
		Utagawa Toyokuni (Japanese: 歌川豐國) (1769 - 1825) (also often referred to as Toyokuni I, to distinguish him from the members of his school who took over his go (art-name) after he died) was a great master of the Japanese woodblock print, known in particular for his Kabuki actor prints.
		Indeed, so powerful was the Utagawa school after Toyokuni's time that almost every Japanese print artist of note either had one of these two characters in his go, or, like Yoshtoshi, was a student of one who did.
		His go, "Toyokuni" was initially used after his death by his son-in-law, Toyoshige, who is therefore known to use as Toyokuni II.

	How to "read" a Print
		Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, began his studies at the turn of the nineteenth century under the tutelage of Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825), of the Utagawa School.
		While he was undoubtedly Toyokuni’s most famous student, upon Toyokuni’s death, he was not given the title of heir to the school and Toyokuni’s name.
		He was officially Toyokuni III, but some of his prints are signed “Toyokuni,” while others are signed “Toyokuni II.” While this may appear to be confusing, other marks on the print help to identify the true designer.

		Although the last years of his career were spent in turning out coarse and decadent caricatures of his former efforts, he was nonetheless, a man of considerable talent who, for a short time, held together a great but declining tradition.
		With the noted exceptions of Kiyonaga and Toyokuni I, who were gifted in depictions of both actors and courtesans, most of these artists worked primarily in either one or the other tradition.
		Born in Edo in 1769, Toyokuni was the son of a woodcarver who made puppets and dolls.

		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.
		In general, in modern writing, the style is to identify the particular artist one is speaking of by use of a Roman numeral to identify the artist's number within the sequence of artists using a particular go.
		The first Toyokuni II was Toyoshige (1777-1836), a mediocre pupil and son-in-law of Toyokuni I who had taken over as head of the Utagawa school after Toyokuni I died.
