About the artist
Utagawa Kuniteru II (1830–1874) was born Yamada Kunijirō in Edo (Tokyo) and was a print designer, painter and book illustrator. He studied under Utagawa Kunisada I. He worked under several names, including Ichiyūsai, Ichiransai and Kunitsuna II, before changing his name to Kuniteru II in 1865. His subjects included actors, beautiful women, customs and manners, famous places, sumo wrestlers and educational prints. He is best known for bunmei kaika-e, pictures of Japan's modernization, made in a late Utagawa-school manner.
