Toyohara Chikanobu
(Japanese printmaker, 1837 - 1912)
Japanese, (1837–1912)
Chikanobu had studied under Tohohara Kunichika whose surname he took. Favorite subjects are historical scenes, female images and prints showing emperor and empress Meiji in an environment that documented the rapid progress in adopting Western technology and customs. Chikanobu had adopted some Western styles and techniques, but his subjects were rather retrograde. --artelino.com
