Two woodblock prints by Utagawa Kunimatsu (Japanese, c. 19th C). Left print of "Kataoka Ichizo"; right print of "Onono Tofu Aoyagisuzururi". Condition: Faded colors. Overall Size: 15 1/4 x 20 in. Sight Size: 9 1/4 x 14 in. #1275 Biography "Guide to Modern Japanese Woodblock Prints": Utagawa Kunimatsu, born Wada Kunijiro, was the third son of the artist Utagawa Kunitsuru (1807–1878) and the younger brother of the artist Utagawa Kunitsuru II. He studied with his father and with Kobayashi Eitaku (1843-1890) and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900). He was one of a number of the lesser artists of the Meiji period who designed war prints (senso-e); scenic view prints (meisho-e) depicting popular locations in and around Yokohama [including the series Competition of Famous Places in Yokohama (Yokohama meishokyo)]; book illustrations for novels including several written by Iwaya Sazanami (1870-1933); and illustrations for various newspapers, including the Kyoto binode shimbun and Mainichi shimbun. He lived in Yokohama, Tokyo and Osaka. It is said that he was left-handed. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston records a signature on a print credited to him as Ichiosai Kunimatsu, one of many names used by the artist. He passed away in Taito Ward, Tokyo at the age of 90. His grave is at the Zojo-ji Temple in Shiba, Minato Ward, Tokyo. The Japanese Wikipedia entry states that he was posthumously honored as the Fifth Generation Utagawa Toyokuni in 1972. However, this conflicts with reports that Utagawa Kunimasa IV (1848–1920) was also known as Utagawa Toyokuni V. Location Box 9
