"Ichiyusai Toyokuni Ga" refers to a body of work produced by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, a prolific and highly regarded Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. Born in 1786 and active until his death in 1865, Kunisada was a leading figure in the ukiyo-e genre, specializing in kabuki, bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), and sumo wrestler prints. The term "Ichiyusai Toyokuni Ga" encompasses the signature style and subjects of Kunisada's works, particularly those where he adopted the name Toyokuni, succeeding his master Toyokuni I, and marking his prominence in the Utagawa school.

Kunisada's adoption of the name Toyokuni III (later in his career) was a significant event, symbolizing his claim to the legacy of his master and the Utagawa school's leadership. His works under the "Ichiyusai Toyokuni Ga" signature are characterized by their vibrant use of color, intricate detail, and dynamic compositions, reflecting the cultural and societal aspects of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) society. Kunisada's prints were immensely popular during his lifetime, contributing significantly to the ukiyo-e tradition and influencing subsequent generations of artists.

The "Ichiyusai Toyokuni Ga" works cover a wide range of ukiyo-e themes, including the portrayal of actors in kabuki theater, which was one of Kunisada's specialties. His ability to capture the drama and emotion of kabuki performances on woodblock prints contributed to the popularity of both the genre and the theater form itself. Additionally, Kunisada's bijin-ga prints, which depicted the beauty and fashion of Edo's courtesans and women, were celebrated for their elegance and realism, offering insights into the period's aesthetics and social norms.

Throughout his career, Kunisada remained committed to the traditional methods of ukiyo-e printmaking, while also embracing innovation and experimenting with new techniques and subjects. His prolific output and the high quality of his work ensured his lasting impact on the world of Japanese art. Today, "Ichiyusai Toyokuni Ga" represents not only Kunisada's artistic legacy but also a significant chapter in the history of ukiyo-e, celebrated for its contribution to Japanese culture and its influence on Western artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
