Collection: Kunisada

Utagawa Kunisada (歌川国貞, 1786 - January 12, 1865) was a Japanese ukiyo-e printmaker known for his vibrant portraits of kabuki actors and beautiful women. He was the pupil of Utagawa Toyokuni and became one of the most popular ukiyo-e artists during the Edo period. Notable works include his series "Famous Kabuki Actors" and "The Ten Famous Beauties of the Edo Period." He contributed significantly to the evolution of ukiyo-e, merging traditional themes with contemporary popular culture, and left a lasting legacy in Japanese art.

This curated collection includes some of Kunisada's most famous and recognized artwork, as well as some lesser known pieces that we consider ideal for personal collectors. All framed art prints and canvas prints are created from high resolution source files of the original Kunisada paintings.
