| | Utamaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Utamaro, in common with other Japanese of the time, changed his name as he became mature, and also took the name Ichitaro Yusuke as he became older. | | | It is generally agreed that he became a pupil of the painter Toriyama Sekien while he was still a child, and there are many authorities who believe that Utamaro was his son as well. | | | After Utamaro's death, his pupil Koikawa Shuncho continued to produce prints in his mentor's style, and took over the gō Utamaro until 1820; these are now referred to as the work of "Utamaro II". |

| | Harvard University Art Museums - Press releases, 1996 |
| | Both Sharaku and Utamaro were active in the city of Edo at the end of the eighteenth century and each strongly influenced successive generations of Japanese artists in their respective genres of Kabuki-actor portraiture and the depiction of beautiful women. | | | Taught first by the Kano-trained artist Toriyama Sekien (1712-88), Utamaro was taken in as a young artist by the important publisher Tsutaya Juzaburo, who helped to support him, honed and developed his art, and presented the promising young print designer to the Edo artistic circle in the mid 1770s. | | | Unlike the enigmatic Sharaku, Kitagawa Utamaro (1754-1806) was undoubtedly one of the most celebrated Ukiyo-e artist of his day. |

| | Viewing Japanese Prints: Tragic Lovers |
| | Utamaro depicted his lovers using his own "portrait" style. | | | In contrast, Utamaro designed around 120 single-sheet prints depicting tragic lovers, and many were in the close-up 'okubi-e' ("large-head") format, which introduced far greater intimacy and brought emotion close to the picture surface by zooming in on the head and shoulders of the figures. | | | Utamaro also incorporated three pictorial devices that he and other artists used repeatedly to depict tragic lovers. |

| | Kitagawa UTAMARO |
| | After his father s death, Utamaro moved from Musashi province to Edo, where in 1775 he joined the studio of the townscape painter Sekien, who may have been a relation. | | | His special distinguishing features are his compositional skill and his easy command of technique, as can be seen, for example, in the combination of different printing processes, in relief printing and in the use of silver and gold powder, along with his subtle sense of colour with all its wealth of nuance. | | | Alongside Hokusai, Utamaro was one of the first Japanese artists to become known in Europe. |

| | Kenji Mizoguchi |
| | Inspired by the life and work of the wood block print artist, Utamaro Kitagawa (1753-1806), who revolutionized the medium by capturing human emotion into his artwork, Utamaro and His Five Women is a fascinating study of a man's dedication to his art and adherence to self-expression in a time of rigid conformity. | | | As Utamaro finds solace in the ideas of his unrealized paintings amidst the chaos of his environment, Mizoguchi, too, perseveres through his imposed artistic limitations in Utamaro and His Five Women, his only film during this period of uncertainty. | | | But soon, Utamaro's house is thrown into crisis when his model, Okita (Kinuyo Tanaka) learns that her lover has eloped with Takasode, and the embittered Okita decides to retaliate by seducing the impressionable Seinosuke. |

| | Utamaro is famed for his superbly conceived paintings and woodblock-print depictions of beautiful women from the shops, teahouses, and pleasure quarters of Edo (now Tokyo). | | | Utamaro produced designs for many publishers, but his closest relationship was with Tsutaya Jûzaburô (1750-97), who produced a significant number of his masterpieces. | | | Utamaro's artistic career evolved in a gradual, tentative manner, and his distinctive creative talents did not become really apparent until he reached his mid-thirties. |

| | The article describes the development of the popular Japanese print as the result of the political, social and economic environment of the times in which they were made and the people for whom they were produced. | | | The first example of such active opposition can be seen in a group of prints by Utamaro published in 1804, shortly after the Kansei Reforms, which had harshly punished his publisher Tsutaya Juzaburo and collaborator Santo Kyoden. | | | Part six deals with the case of a prominent victim of the Tokugawa shogunate, Utamaro Kitagawa, 1750-1806 and the Tempo reforms. |

| | Essays - Following the Gaze in 'Beauty and Sadness': Utamaro, O'Keeffe and Song by Lois Veber-Altman |
| | In “Girl Powdering Her Neck,” Song shifts from an overview of Utamaro and his prodigious output to contemplate a single portrait of a geisha engaged in her daily ritual of preparing her body for a man. The narrator speaks of her beauty as a mask and her personal world as one of silence and solitude. | | | The second poem is based on a specific wood-block print by Utamaro, “Girl Powdering Her Neck,” one of his studies of the floating world, ukiyo-e, in the capital’s Yoshiwara district during the second half of the eighteenth century. | | | The painter in the film appears as a free spirit who is too obsessed with his art to indulge in the pleasures of the floating world he depicted. |

| | H-Net Multimedia Reviews: Kevin O'Brien on Utamaro and His Five Women (Utamaro O Meguru Gonin No Onna) |
| | Utamaro defines himself through his nonconformist art and the women--both metaphorical and actual--he encounters. | | | The fact that Utamaro was himself a rebel and one who could function outside of the collective--effectively portrayed in the film when he "duels" the Kano art student via a painting contest in which he embellishes his opponent's lifeless drawing--is analogous to a major dilemma which challenged the Japanese people immediately after World War II. | | | Implicit in Mizoguchi's film is the problem of self-individualization, the issue of gender equality, and the theme of the artist as the person impervious to societal constraints or cultural imperialism. |

| | Amazon.com: Utamaro and His Five Women (1946) : Video |
| | "Utamaro" does not aim to be a literal biography but is instead an imagining of the great painter in the prime of his career and his relationship with his models - a relationship that mirrors Mizoguchi's own love/hate relationship with women. | | | Perhaps "Utamaro" is best left for admirerers of the director - initiates to Mizoguchi should look for "Sisters of the Gion," "Osaka Elegy," "Ugetsu," "A Geisha" (aka "Gion Music Festival") or his masterpiece "Sansho the Bailiff" instead. | | | In a career littered with period films this is one of the rare examples where the master Japanese filmmaker Mizoguchi Kenji portrayed an actual historical figure, though "Utamaro and His Five Women" hardly shoots for a factual representation of an artist's life. |

| | Utamaro worked in many genres (including porn) but he became (and remains) famous for his bijin-e (portraits of 'beauties'). | | | Both artists relied on artistic collaborators – wood carvers, colourists and live female models in the case of Utamaro; scriptwriters, photographers and star actresses, in the case of Mizoguchi. | | | In a highly charged scene in this film, Utamaro paints, directly on the back of a beautiful courtesan, a sketch that is later tattooed into her skin. |
