About the Artists
- Toyohara Kunichika (Japanese: ?? ??
30 June 1835 – 1 July 1900) was a ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock print 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.
An alcoholic and womanizer, Kunichika also portrayed women deemed beautiful (bijinga), contemporary social life, and a few landscapes and historical scenes. He worked successfully in the Edo period and carried those traditions into the Meiji period. To his contemporaries and now to some modern art historians, this has been seen as a significant achievement during a transitional period of great social and political change in Japan's history.
- Shosai Ikkei ????
Shosai Ikkei was a pupil of Hiroshige III. He is best known for views of Tokyo during the transformation into a Western city with stone buildings, steel bridges, railways and steam locomotives. Among these views is a series of comic scenes of life in Edo. For Western collectors these puns are difficult to understand, especially when the comic is connected with a play on different meanings of Japanese words. Laurance P. Roberts (see bibliography) characterizes the woodblock prints by Ikkei Shosai poignantly as "comic scenes of Edo life in the early Meiji era" (Edo meant here as the capital Tokyo).
Ikkei Shosai is said to have designed circa two dozen triptychs. They must be very rare. We have seen only a few and these were surprisingly well made in technical and artistic terms, in my view, better than the two series for which he is famous, 48 Famous Places of Tokyo and 36 Comics of the Famous Places in Tokyo.
