Description:TOYOKUNI II was an ukiyo-e painter, print artist and illustrator; pupil and son-in-law of Toyokuni I (1769-1825). - Richard Lane wrote that in this series Toyokuni II managed to design several prints: "… the equal of all but the finest work of his more famous contempraries; (some) ... may be favorably compared with the best of Hiroshige... One gets the strong impression that Toyokuni II might have ranked with Eisen, Kunisada and Kuniyoshi, had he been given further opportunities to develop his unique view of landscape."
