Kunishu was a student of Shunin and Toyokuni III, and was called “Meiji no Sharaku” by Kojima Osui. Kunishu is a representative of the Ukiyoe artists of the Meiji period, and his numerous works are of great value as a source of information on the history of Meiji theater. Kunishu had an unusual personality, which he himself admitted. According to him, he moved 117 times, and he boasted that his paintings were not as good as Hokusai’s, who also moved frequently, but he was ahead of Hokusai in the number of moves he made. He had more than 40 wives, but none of them lasted long.
