Himself a student of the artist Utagawa Toyokuni ô16 (1769–1825), Kunisada climbed the ladder of success, illustrating books and designing primarily actor prints (yakushae ņĚί) and portraits of beautiful women (bijinga Ôʡɹ). He would quickly establish his own studio and train over 100 students.1 Initially, he captured the bijin in the style of earlier ukiyoe masters; soon, he depicted idealized imaginary bijin whose hair and clothing styles were widely mimicked by women of the time. The Japanese kabuki theater emphasizes sight and sound with the actors as focus. Actor prints therefore are similarly inclined to portray the performance of an actor on stage, his movements and gestures and, even more importantly, the poses he strikes. Kunisada was a master in emphasizing any actor’s uniqueness and capturing the level of artistic attainment emanating from an actor’s whole being.2 His actor portraits doc- ument and immortalize all the great performances and actors of the early nineteenth century, a field that Kunisada dominated over a period of some 50 years.
