Known as Kunisada II, this artist lived from 1823-1880. He
studied with Kunisada I and took his name when Kunisada I
took the name of Toyokuni who had been HIS teacher. It
was common practice for
artists who attained a high level of success to take on the
name of their teacher, as a sign of respect. <p>This print is
called a diptych, that is, printed on two
pages in a book. It was originally in one piece, but was divided for publication in book form. The two sides are mounted together.
