An original woodcut, by Utagawa Kunisada I (Toyokuni III), "Hana (Flowers) Kacho fugetsu no uchi from the series (Flowers, Birds, Wind & Moon) is printed upon mid nineteenth century Japanese mulberry paper with full margins as published by Yamamotoya Heikichi between 1847 and 1851.

Title: Hana (Flowers) Kacho fugetsu no uchi (Series: Flowers, Birds, Wind & Moon)
Artist: Utagawa Kunisada 'Toyokuni III' (Japan, 1786 - 1864)
Date: Between 1847 & 1851
Medium: Original Japanese Woodcut
Publisher: Yamamotoya Heikichi (Eikyudo)
Signed: Kochoro Toyokuni ga
Series: Kacho fugetsu no uchi (Flowers, Birds, Wind and Moon)
Note: Utagawa Kunisada I (Toyokuni III): Perhaps the best known printmaking artist of his day, Kunisada apprenticed under Toyokuni. Kunisada's earliest woodcuts date from 1809 and he quickly established himself as a master of figure and character studies. Because of his chronological changes of signatures, Kunisada's woodcuts are not difficult to date: his first works were signed, 'Ichiyusai Kunisada', and bear the definite influence of his master. About 1813, he began inscribing his woodcuts, 'Gototei Kunisada', and from 1827, he adopted the 'go' or 'ga' suffix. Finally, in 1844, he took his deceased master's name -- a not uncommon practice in Japanese art -- and signed his works, 'Toyokuni'. Hana (Flowers) Kacho fugetsu no uchi (Series: Flowers, Birds, Wind & Moon) represents a fine example from this, Kunisada's last segment of artistic creativity.
  When the Western world first discovered the artistic value of the Japanese woodcut (c. 1865) it was the designs of Kunisada which primarily attracted the greatest attention. His superb use of line, perspective and colour influenced an entire legion of European artists. Toulouse-Lautrec, Whistler, Van Gogh, Vuillard, Bonnard and many others all owed a considerable deal to the splendid creations of this Japanese master of the woodcut.
  This original Utagawa Kunisada I woodcut depicts an interior scene with a seated woman and a night scene in the garden. It represents a fine, original example from his last segment of artistic creativity.
