Utagawa Kunihisa

Kunihisa Utagawa (Utagawa Kunihisa, birth and death unknown) is an ukiyo-e artist from the Edo period.

The first student of Toyokuni Utagawa. The common name is unknown, and it refers to the surname of Utagawa. In the "Ukiyo-e Handbook", there is "woman", that is, it is a female artist, but it is not certain. He was a master of the early days of Toyokuni, and the drawing period is said to be from Kyowa to the time of culture, and he mainly leaves hand-drawn beauty paintings, but the style of painting is very similar to that of Utamaro Kitagawa, not his teacher Toyokuni. There are also Nishiki-e works, but they are less than hand-drawn paintings.
