Outlaw Swords Of Death : Warrior & Hero Designs 1825-45

Utagawa Kuniyoshi produced thousands of prints and designs during his lifetime, but is perhaps best-known for his musha-e ('warrior prints'), with which he came to prominence in 1830.

Outlaw Swords of Death collects over 160 of Kuniyoshi's most striking and innovative early musha-e designs, presented in large format and full-colour throughout.

The collection includes all 74 prints in the series 108 Heroes, and also a wide selection of the most dynamic images from his follow-up series 800 Heroes (1830-36).

The designs range in date from 1825 to 1845.
