About the artist

Utagawa Kunisada I, born as Sumida Shōgorō IX, was a well-known designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints between 1786 and 1865. At 15, he joined Utagawa Toyokuni's esteemed art school, adopting the artist name Kunisada.

Kunisada showcased his first illustrated book in 1807, followed by his initial actor prints in 1808. Unlike his peers, Kuniyoshi Utagawa and Hiroshige, who struggled for recognition, Kunisada gained immediate success. By 1809, contemporary sources hailed him as the "star attraction" of the Utagawa school. His work was often compared favorably to his teacher, Toyokuni, particularly in book illustrations.

Kunisada's work embraced a wide array of traditional ukiyo-e subjects, such as kabuki themes, beautiful women, historical events, and even erotic shunga prints. He continued working in Hongo until his death on January 12, 1865, at 78. Like his successors, Toyokuni and Kunisada II, he was laid to rest at Banshōin Kōunji, his posthumous Buddhist name being Hōkokuin Teishōgasen Shinji.
