His fame is tied to the series of polychrome xylographs that illustrate the 108 heroes from the novel Suikoden (Brigands), a late-18th-century bestseller in China and Japan that described a band of brigands who defend those oppressed by injustice and government corruption. The book conjures imagery of violent, powerful warriors with muscular tattooed bodies--imagery that today inspires manga, anime, tattoo artists, and illustrators across the world. Kuniyoshi embraced the genre of warrior prints, but he was also interested in portraits of female beauties, kabuki actors, landscapes, children, and ghosts, another greatly admired genre in Japan. Nonetheless, his name is above all associated with Arcimboldo-like composite figures, figures within figures, and parodies of stories and battles. His images are fantastical, baroque, and rich in color and detail, with imposing characters and dynamic actions. This book surveys the work of a versatile and intriguing figure whose impressive technique birthed a school that continued for generations. 600 10 $a Utagawa, Kuniyoshi, $d 1798-1861 $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Ukiyoe $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Color prints, Japanese $y Edo period, 1600-1868 $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Wood-engraving, Japanese $y Edo period, 1600-1868 $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Japanese $y Edo period, 1600-1868 $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Menegazzo, Rossella, $e editor. 700 1 $a Burns, Robert, $e translator. 700 1 $a Jennings, Jeffrey, $e translator. 710 2 $a Museo della Permanente (Milan, Italy), $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191116015530.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F2B611E2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
