: Recently two prints of Utagawa Sadahide showing groups of samurai were offered to me and I haven't yet decided. I would like to know more on Utagawa Sadahide, reference material, reputation etc. Binyon & Sexton only tell me that he was a pupil of Kunisada. Any information is highly appreciated.
: Thanks in advance, K.H.G.
In "Yokohama: Prints from Nineteenth-Century Japan", by Ann Yonemura (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, 1990), you will find 18 pictures of prints by Sadahide (1807-ca.1878). Sadahide is described as "an avid annalist of Western customs in Yokohama" (p. 113).
All the best,
Philippe
