Works by Utagawa Kunisada (歌川国貞, 1786-1865), who signed Utagawa Toyokuni III (三代歌川豊国) from 1844, in the public domain: woodblock prints, portraits of kabuki actors, beauties of Edo, scenes from plays and novels, triptychs and landscapes, each linked to its page at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which holds them and publishes their photographs in the public domain. A print exists in several impressions; for each composition, the site shows a single impression. Triptychs are shown whole, as the museum photographs them. The titles are those of the museum, in English, with their translation.
