Kuniyoshi Utagawa (1797-1861) was an immensely popular ukiyo-e artist in the late Edo period. He captured the topics of Edo with full of wit and his innate rebellious spirit; depicted heroes and outlaws as cool figures; and made hilarious caricatures that appealed to the hearts of many.The present exhibition displays selected works from the private collection held by Isao Toshihiko, landscape painter of Musashino (a geographic area encompassing Saitama and Tokyo): masterpieces of Kuniyoshi, as well as works of ukiyo-e and genre painting of artists from the late Edo to Meiji Periods. These artists, including Kyosai Kawanabe, followed Kuniyoshi’s innovative spirit of ukiyo-e.
