He notably made an illustration of Genji monogatari and representations of contemporary kabuki actors. He is an undisputed master of woodblock prints. Utagawa Kunisada was born in Edo in 1786. His father, who died the following year, was an amateur poet of little reputation. After showing a strong predilection for art (he copied the drawings of kabuki actors), he was accepted around 1800 as an apprentice by one of the greatest masters of woodblock drawing, Toyokuni, receiving at that time the name of "gō".
