	Kuniyoshi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Japanese: 歌川国芳) (1798 - 1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese woodblock print.
		Like many others of the Utagawa school, he started out with theatre prints, but his initial lack of success led to several hard years, at one point making a meagre living repairing and selling used tatami (floormats).
		A chance encounter with his prosperous fellow pupil Kunisada, to whom he felt (with some justice) that he was superior in artistic talent, led him to redouble his efforts (but did not create any lingering ill-feeling between the two, who later collaborated on a number of series).

	UKYIO-E COLLECTION
		Kuniyoshi was one of the most prolific of Ukiyo-e artists.
		We can almost feel the impudence of the Witch in summoning up the skeleton-spectre, the despair of the defeated General, her father and the powerful heroism on Mitsukuni's face as he fearlessly defies the apparition.
		Kuniyoshi seems to have taken pleasure in portraying opulent fabrics, suits of armor, weapons, saddles, ships and houses - inserting them into action scenes where they were subjected to the destructive forces whose ultimate source was his vehemently fertile imagination.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: Kuniyoshi
		Utagawa Kuniyoshi was the son of a silk dyer named Yanagiya Kichiemon.
		Although Kuniyoshi designed prints in a wide variety of subject areas (kabuki, women, landscapes, nature prints, humorous or satirical scenes, cat prints, 'surimono', 'shunga', and book illustrations), he is most recognized for his prints depicting warriors, scenes of historical figures and events, and legends.
		In 1843, when Kuniyoshi designed a very popular satirical triptych of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyoshi and the earth spider, the woodblocks and remaining stocks of unsold prints were confiscated and destroyed, and Kuniyoshi was investigated and officially reprimanded.
