Kunisada Utagawa (歌川国貞) / Toyokuni Utagawa III (三代歌川豊国)
Known mainly by two names, Toyokuni Utawaga III and later Kunisada Utagawa, he began his studies under Toyokuni I around the year 1800 and made his first print around 1807. He would later go on to produce over 14,500 prints, including polyptych sets, with the full range of individual sheets produced being estimated to be over 35,000.
He was most well known for prints of kabuki actors, accounting for about 60% of his total output. It was common for artists to have others carve prints, which is how Kunisada was able to create so many printed designs.
A large number of his prints were tryptychs and diptychs, which are multiple individual sheets combined to make one larger design.
His work was nothing less than prolific, but this led to many critics in the 20th Century to discount his work and addition to the genre, with broad acceptance of his artistry only forming in before the turn of the 21st Century.
