Donald D. Walker Collection,
JAPANESE WOODCUT PRINTS
Kunisada, Utagawa (1786-1858)

Kunisada is represented in the Walker collection by 7 compositions dated 1822 and between 1837 and 1844. Highly popular and commercially successful, in his own time the reputation of this artist exceeded that of Hokusai and Hiroshige. After a long period of being regarded poorly by Western scholars, works by Kunisada have recently been reassesed as important in quality.

The ukyio-e are listed alphabetically by Japanese title; title meanings are noted when available. Titles link to a description page for each woodcut at the Library of Congress (LOC) where high resolution digital files are also accessible.
