Description: Superb diptych woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada (also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III) (1786-1865). The work dates to the late Edo period (1848-1865). He is considered the most popular, prolific and commercially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. Kunisada's first known woodblock print dates to 1807. Many of his works became overnight successes and he was considered the “star attraction” of the Utagawa school. He signed his works “Kunisada,” sometimes with the studio names of Gototei and Kochoro affixed. In 1844, he adopted the name of his teacher and became Toyokuni III. Kunisada was a highly popular, and the most active, Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the 19th century. In his time, his reputation surpassed those of his contemporaries Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
