In the life of Utagawa Kunisada

The whole life
  1. 1820–1860

    Dominance in Sumo Wrestler Portraits

    From 1820 to 1860 he dominated the market for printed portraits of sumo wrestlers.

  2. 1835–1850

    Monopoly on Prints Based on "The Tale of Genji"

    From 1835 to 1850 he held a near-total monopoly on the genre of prints connected with "The Tale of Genji"; only after 1850 did other artists begin producing similar sheets.

  3. mid-1840s – early 1850s

    Collaboration with Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi

    From the mid-1840s to the early 1850s he collaborated with Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi on three large series and a number of smaller projects; the cooperation was in large part a show of solidarity against the tightened censorship of the Tenpō reforms.
