In the life of Utagawa Kunisada
The whole life1809
The "Star" of the Utagawa School
Contemporaries called him the "star" of the Utagawa school; his first bijin-ga series and a series of views of Edo appeared at the same time, and in 1810–1811 he was judged the equal in skill of his teacher Toyokuni.
from 1810
The Pseudonym Gogotei
He began using the pseudonym Gogotei (a hidden reference to his father's ferry business), which appears on nearly all his kabuki-themed prints up to 1842.
1813
Second Master of Ukiyo-e After Toyokuni
A contemporary ranking of the most important ukiyo-e masters placed Kunisada second only to his teacher Toyokuni — official recognition in the art world of Edo.
