Hi

 

I am attaching a few pictures from the Ukiyo-e Collection from the National Art & Deco museum located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Sorry I am not so sure why some of the pictures are not attached vertical in order to prevent torticollis!

Cellphones. They rotate images. You need to edit and save the pics first. It's a known cellphone issue on all internet software.

Hi Javier,

 

I'll start you off:

 

1, 2, 5, 6 & 7  by the Artist: Toyohara Kunichika

 

2 & 7 - definitely from the series entitled "Mirror of Demonic People, Good and Evil" (Zen'aku kijin kagami). c. 1868

Hi 

 

I think the other prints are by Toyokuni ? difficult to see them clearly .  and if I remember rightly Toyokuni 3 a later artist also changed his name to  Kunisada , but don't quote me  on that,  you would need to check them out date wise .

Hi Ray.,

 

I'm with you on your call of Toyokuni III later known as Kunisada, certainly on Image 4.

 

Look left of the Toshidama cartouche (Used in various colourways from 1847 to 1860), on the right hand image of the diptych, I reckon that's the Publishers mark for Jōshū-ya Jūzō. (Looks like a single mountain with kana underneath).

 

He published Toyokuni III certainly in 1858.

 

Cheers

Hi Malcolm

 

Good info,  new it was Toyokuni and I had a good  guess on the  Toyokuni III,  as I have a few somewhere. 

 

cheers

Hi all, I think Kunisada took Toyukuni name (his teacher?), after he died and was then known as Toyukuni III. EdF
