	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.
		In today's literature Kunisada is referred to as Toyokuni III, Toyoshige as Toyokuni II and the master as Toyokuni I. By the way, most of today's art critics think that Kuniyoshi was the best of Toyokuni's students and not Kunisada.

	Toyokuni - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		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 (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.

		Utagawa Toyokuni (1769 - 1825) (Japanese: æå·è±å), also often referred to as Toyokuni I, to distinguish him from the members of his school who took over his gÅ (art-name) after he died was a great master of ukiyo-e, known in particular for his Kabuki actor prints.
		He was known mostly for his prints related to the Kabuki theatre, in particular his actor portaits, a field which he took to new heights, although he also produced bijinga.

		Toyokuni, at 15, was still a student when Kiyonaga was creating his great series of triptychs and diptychs depicting the young men and women of Edo's demimonde, and at 20 he saw the first bust portraits of actors appear under the signature of Shunsho's two main pupils Shun'ei and Shunko.
		In 1792, when Toyokuni was continuing to produce portraits of beautiful women of the Yoshiwara and views of their environs, Shunsho died leaving the whole field of actor prints largely unattended.
		Ichibei published Toyokuni's prints for roughly the next decade, which was the period of the artist's finest work.

	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.

	THE ARTIST – TOYOKUNI III
		While there were many other exceptional painters during this same time to include Kuniyoshi and Hiroshige, Toyokuni III ranked at the top.
		In fact, the renowned master, Toyokuni from the Utagawa School, was so impressed that he brought Kunisada on board to teach.
		Interestingly, Toyokuni’s focus, natural ability, and exceptional teaching by his master soon had him being thought of as an equal to the master when it came to book illustrations, something no other Japanese artist had achieved.

		Hiroshige who　influenced the impressionists strongly was born from the Toyohiro line, while Kunimasa (1773~1810), Kunisada (later renamed Toyokuni III), Kuniyoshi and many other talented ukiyo-e artists were born from the Toyokuni I line.
		Though these were many schools of ukiyo-e prints, such as works of Toyokuni III, Kuniyoshi, Hiroshige I from the Utagawa School attracted a great deal of attention.
		He quickly turned his attention to the art of Kunisada (Toyokuni III) and established a new genre - "Design Toyokuni" in addition to existing genres of ukiyo-e such as portraits of beauties, landscape paintings, and actors.

		Comments: Toyokuni III (1786-1864) was born as Utagawa Kunisada, and changed his name several times.
		In 1844 he took the name of his teacher Toyokuni I. This print was sold to me (by a Japanese dealer) with the year given as 1863.
		However, when I got it home and started to crosscheck the details I was not able to confirm this, though it definitely dates from about this period.

		In the early 1840s, he began using the name Toyokuni III, in deference to his by then deceased master, and continued his monumentally prolific print output -- perhaps as many as 20,000 prints have been attributed to him.
