Shujiro Yoshimune II
(Japanese illustrator and printmaker, 1863-1941)
Japan, (1863–1941)
Utagawa, Yoshimune II (1863-1941); Given name Shinjiro Utagawa; death of Yoshimune I, became Yoshimune II (1881). Studied with Yoshitoshi. Hasegawa publisher. Also known as Arai Yoshimune and Utagawa Shûjirô, the artist was born in Edo as the eleventh child of an Ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Yoshimune I (1817-80). He became a student of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-92) as a young boy, thereby assuming the name Toshiyuki at the age of thirteen. After his father’s death, the artist succeeded to the name Utagawa Yoshimune II in 1881. Active during one of the most dramatic political and social transitions in Japanese history, Meiji (1868-1912) through early Shôwa (1926-1989), Yoshimune II worked as illustrator and print designer mainly in landscapes with publishers such as Hasegawa and Ukiyôdô.
