Toyohara Kunichika

Toyohara Kunichika (Japanese: 豊原 国周; 30 June 1835 – 1 July 1900) was a ukiyo-e artist. Talented as a child, at about thirteen he became a student of Tokyo's then-leading print maker, Utagawa Kunisada. His deep appreciation and knowledge of kabuki drama led to his production primarily of yakusha-e, which are woodblock prints of kabuki actors and scenes from popular plays of the time.
