About Women Releasing Birds Utagawa Kunisada Japanese Ukiyoe Woodblock Print Art Edo Period Painting
Women Releasing Birds is a beautiful depiction of freedom applied by Kunisada that also represents the freedom of the Geisha and her will to fly like the birds. Kunisada's main occupation was kabuki and actor prints, and about 60% of his designs fall in this category. However he was also highly active in the area of bijin-ga prints (comprising about 15% of his complete works), and their total number was far higher than any other artist of his time.Kunisada's paintings, which were privately commissioned, are little-known, but can be compared to those of other masters of ukiyoe painting.
