This work is believed to depict Nichiren Shonin who was exiled to Tsukahara in Sado. It is unusual for Kuniyoshi to have such a simple depiction that he does not show his eccentric ways, stoically depicting the turbulent life of a great man. Snow that falls and piles up as if it covers everything. The appearance of the lonely fishing village conveys the severity of winter in the Sea of Japan. 22.2 × 34.6 cm. Explanation in Japanese and English. Kuniyoshi Utagawa was an ukiyo-e artist who was active at the end of the Edo period. Because of his unique style, he is called “fantasy painter” and has recently been gaining popularity among a wide range of people. In the rankings of Ukiyoe artists at that time, Hiroshige, a Ukiyoe landscape painter, was named Kuniyoshi, a Mushae painter. His works full of rebellious and satirical spirit were overwhelmingly supported by people at that time, and many disciples gathered to form the largest faction of Ukiyoe artists. The genealogy includes Japanese painters in the Showa period. International Buyers – Please Note.
