Biography engraver: Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was one of the leading masters of the Utagawa school and a dominant figure in mid-19th-century ukiyo-e. Renowned for his warrior prints (musha-e), kabuki actor portraits, and imaginative compositions, he combined dynamic figure drawing with bold color contrasts. His works often depict dramatic narrative scenes from history and theatre.
