Summary
日本語: 錦絵画帳『豊國十二ヶ月』よりEnglish: from the ukiyo-e print album "Toyokuni 12 months"
Utagawa Toyokuni II (1777–1835), also known as Toyoshige, was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints in Edo. He was the pupil, son-in-law, and adopted son of Toyokuni I. The former used the name Toyoshige (豊重) until 1826, the year after his teacher’s death when he began signing his work Toyokuni (豊国). Kunisada, another student of Toyokuni I, did not recognize Toyoshige's claim and declared himself "Toyokuni" and leader of the school. Toyoshige resumed signing his work "Toyoshige".
