Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi started out learning his skill at the age of 14 at the Utagawa School. It was there that he got his name - a tradition of art schools at the time. In 1827, aged 29, he made his first commercial breakthrough with six illustrations for the story of the 108 heroes, commissioned by the publisher Kagaya Kichibei. This exhibition at the Royal Academy features over 150 works by this influential artist who, along with Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige, dominated nineteenth century printmaking in Japan. His subject matter varied from historic Japanese heroes to animal portraits as well as less conventional landscape prints popular in the West.About Royal Academy of Arts
