Biography
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (b.1798 d.1861) was a Japanese artist often regarded as one of the last great masters of Ukiyo-e style woodblock prints. A member of the Utagawa school, Kuniyoshi established himself as an artist with his warrior prints and comic subjects. These are also credited as a huge influence on modern-day manga comics. In the 1830s Kuniyoshi also explored Western-style landscape prints.
