Utagawa Edo Portrait Bag
A handbag inspired by the artwork of Japanese ukiyo-e artist, Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865).

Born in 1786, Utagawa Kunisada became known as one of the most popular Japanese designers of woodblock prints during the Edo Period (1603-1868). Also known as Toyokuni III, he was best known for his many ukiyo-e-style prints of Kabuki actors.
