Kunichika Toyohara was born as Ōshima Yasohachi in 1835. Toyohara was one of the last Japanese Ukiyo-e painters. His first signed print is from 1852, but it was only in 1854 that he took the stage name Kunichika. Toyohara is best known for his prints of Kabuki actors, using the woodblock technique. He also painted beautiful women and for some special occasions, historical scenes. Toyohara was certainly a brilliant painter with unmistakable talent and dissipated life.

Japanese Beauties Enjoy a Full Moon
By Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)
Located in Burbank, CA
"Sun, Moon and Stars". Three beauties enjoy a full moon on the veranda of a teahouse or restuarant. The woman on the left kneels and adjusts her lavishly printed kimono. The beauty in the center has her hair down, and behind her is a screen against which shadows are beautifully silhouetted, which adds an air of mystery. The seated woman on the right is perhaps a geisha, as we see a shamisen lying next to her. Before her is a tray with an assortment of foods. One may surmise that the beauties are being compared to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On the left we glimpse a full moon shining over the peaceful bay, and boats at harbor. Original first edition Japanese color woodblock print triptych...
