Additional Information Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - January 12, 1865) (Japanese: 歌川 国貞, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III 三代歌川豊国 ) was the most popular, prolific and financially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan...His early sketches at that time impressed Toyokuni, the great master of the Utagawa school and prominent designer of kabuki and actor-portrait prints. In the year 1800 or shortly thereafter Kunisada was accepted by Toyokuni I as an apprentice in his workshop. In keeping with a tradition of Japanese master-apprentice relations, he was then given the official artist name of 'KUNI-sada', the first character of which was derived from the second part of the name 'Toyo-KUNI.'"--Wikipedia Note: LC Heading: Utagawa, Toyokuni, 1786-1865 aka: Gototei Kunisada, |d 1786-1865 aka: Utagawa, Kunisada, |d 1786-1865
