Best known for his depictions of fierce samurai warriors in battle,
Utagawa Kuniyoshi also produced landscapes, portraits of Kabuki
actors, and images of mythical animals. His dynamic action scenes
and fantastic creatures are recognized today as precursors of manga
and anime. This dazzling volume by Matthi Forrer, one of the
leading experts on ukiyo-e art, traces Kuniyoshi's entire career.
Chapters look at the major aspects of Kuniyoshi's oeuvre; his book
illustrations and portraits of fashionable women; his enormously
popular series featuring actors, warriors, and landscapes; and the
influence of Western art on his career. Meticulous, large-scale
reproductions highlight the work's clear outlines, elegantly muted
palette, and precise details-from electrifying depictions of a
tiger, mid-pounce, and light-hearted interpretations of Chinese
folktales, to the terrifying figures of samurai swordsmen and
romantic winter landscapes. A Japanese-style binding and box
complete this luxurious package that promises an endlessly
absorbing journey into the life of Kuniyoshi during the latter days
of Japan's Edo period.
