	Toyokuni Info - Bored Net - Boredom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.
		He was one of the heads of the renowned Utagawa school of Japanese woodblock artists, and was the person who really moved it to the position of great fame and power it occupied for the rest of the 19th century.
		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.

	Utagawa School
		The Utagawa line, on the other hand, intimately related to the changing fashions of the floating world, and lacking a stable base of tradition like the Torii's to fall back on, essentially died out (despite some claims of modern artists to a link) when the functions of ukiyo-e were taken over by photography and lithography.
		The death of the Utagawa line is thus linked with the demise of ukiyo-e as a form of popular culture, the splitting of the functions of the traditional woodblock print into the modern art print, on the one hand, and the rise of modern versions of mass media on the other.
		But the Utagawa line, lasting for over a century, and dominating the field of ukiyo-e for most of this time, must be recognized as unquestionably the most successful school of printmakers commercially, defining the field of printmaking in the nineteenth century, and enhancing the place of ukiyo-e as popular culture.

	Utagawa Artists
		The Utagawa School was the dominant line of printmaking in the nineteenth century, and it was from a commercial point of view the most successful one.
		Although the Utagawa School in the nineteenth century was primarily identified with kabuki depiction, and secondarily with portraits of beauties and warrior prints, Toyoharu's specialty was the uki-e, or perspective print.
		The Utagawa School of printmakers, like none other, were able to produce a steady stream of prints dealing with the floating world, making prints as common as magazines or newspapers, with some of the same social functions.

		Utagawa Toyoharu, founder of the Utagawa school, the little known creator of ukiyoe, left a number of nikuhitsu ukiyoe, individual paintings presenting typical portraits of kubuki courtesans and actors.
		Fortunately for the development of the Utagawa school, Toyokaru accepted as a pupil the son of Kurahashi, a sculptor of wooden dolls and probable friend of Utagawa living with Shiba in the same district of Edo.
		The decline in the level of the works of Utagawa school was connected to the general decline of ukiyoe artistic forms towards the end of the Tokugawa period.
