Kawanabe Kyosai

Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831 – 1889) was a Japanese painter, caricaturist and ukiyo-e woodblock print artist. He is considered by many to be the successor of Katsushika Hokusai due to his skill of sketching the world around him. Kyosai is best known for his Kyōsai Gadan, or "Kyōsai's Treatise on Painting", half autobiography and half painting manual.

    Dear Mr. Richard, opening the package and seeing the incredible bright colours and ornamental abundance of Yoshitoshi's diptych , it was just as printed today! It will be a pleasure to get more of your fine selected prints.

    Hello, I am very happy with the print I purchased from Mie Gallery on March 5. (Kunichika - Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami). For such an old print, the colors and shapes are sharp and beautiful, much better than I expected.
