点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In order to reconsider the achievement of "Utagawa kunisada I (Toyokuni III)" who was an artist painter of Ukiyoe to become the leading authority of illustrations for "Kusazousi (Goukan)" which had the highest number of publicized issues in the early 19th of the Edo period, I studied about Goukan in which he became engaged. Then, I clarified the manner of expression by pictures and writings in Goukan from the results of my study and indicated that those were not the mere illustrations. In addition, I made a report on art activities of feudal lords who frequently ordered Ukiyoe to be printed but not published to Kunisada or other artists and considered the whole concept of culture formation at the end of the Edo period.
