Title
The
General
Amakasu
Omi-no-kami
Kagotoki
riding
a
brown
horse
Description
The
son
of a
silk
dyer
,
Utagawa
Kuniyoshi
was
apprenticed
to the
printmaker
Utagawa
Toyokuni
I
.
whose
other
pupils
included
Toyoshige
and
Kunisada
.
Unlike
his
master
,
who
specialized
in
actor
portraits
,
Kuniyoshi
excelled
in
depicting
historical
scenes
and
events
along
with
celebrated
warriors
.
Like
many
of his
contemporaries
, the
artist
experimented
widely
,
producing
prints
of
everything
from
landscapes
to
erotica
.
Kuniyoshi’s
first
published
work
was a
set
of
book
illustrations
released
in
1814
,
although
his
name
remained
obscure
for
several
years
until
his
publication
of a
print
series
depicting
75
heroes
from
Japanese
lore
and
legend
.
When
prints
of
actors
and
beautiful
women
(bijin-ga)
were
banned
by the
Japanese
government
in
1842
, the
Japanese
middle
class
became
enthusiastic
supporters
of
Kuniyoshi’s
seemingly
inoffensive
historical
prints
. In
1843
, the
artist
released
a
satirical
triptych
print
criticizing
the
Shogun
,
launching
an
official
investigation
that
resulted
in the
destruction
of
Kuniyoshi’s
woodblocks
and
unsold
prints
, as
well
as an
official
censure
. The
print
,
however
,
remained
popular
with the
middle
class
.
