Beschreibung:
Yoshitoshi’s teacher, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861), was a prolific and popular designer of warrior imagery. Many print series catalogued the rest stations along the five major highways connecting the capital with the rest of Japan. The Kisokaidō road linked the cities of Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto, and like in many other series, Kuniyoshi paired historical events with landscape along the highway. Hakamadare and Yasumasa appear with the winding mountain road near the town of Nojiri. Hakamadare’s jacket is decorated with a design of the Buddha, in keeping with theatrical versions of the story. His hairstyle also is in the conventional style used for roguish characters.Label Text: Yoshitoshi’s teacher, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861), was a prolific and popular designer of warrior imagery.
