Kuniyoshi – a more martial view of Japan
May 18th, 2009 by Nick

If you saw earlier exhibitions at the Royal Academy about Hokusai and Hiroshigi you might like Kuniyoshi, or not?

The Academy have surpassed themselves and crammed masses of items in a small space which was very busy. But is Kuniyoshi as appealing as Hokusai and Hiroshigi – not for me. He specialised in martial drawings which are somewhat gruesome and complex as real names had to be disguised.

In the last room the images become a lot more appealing with more landscapes and some comedy items such as the octopuses playing games. However make your own mind up and go see Kuniyoshi.
