Abstract

This article examines Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s study of Chinese painting and the relevance of the portrayal of the magnates to literature, and explores Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s intention to represent the different identities of the magnates and their stylization as military generals. Secondly, he discusses the decorative and symbolic significance of the costumes and the aesthetic concepts of the Edo people as reflected in the works. Through the above examination, we will grasp Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s creative thinking and intentions for the costume of the great warriors, and position the series in the history of Japanese art.
