Yoshitsuya was one of the pupils of Kuniyoshi. Since Yoshitsuya drew strong brushwork and had a good sense of the beautiful color combinations, Kuniyoshi named him Yoshitsuya. Tsuya means beauty.
He had a talent for depicting warriors and was a good rival of Kuniteru. They had competed for the technique of the drawing of tattoos. The citizen said, "Yoshitsuya is about Jiraiya, and Kuniteru is about Kitsune Tadanobu." Shopping Guide & Information of the Japanese Prints
