Konishi Hirosada
(fl. c. 1819-1863) was the most prolific Osaka-based designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints during the late Edo period. Like most producers of —prints originating in the Osaka and Kyoto regions—he specialized in ''yakusha-e'' actor prints. Hirosada is particularly known for his diptychs and triptychs, and for his many ''ōkubi-e'' portraits of the leading actors on the Osaka kabuki stage during his day.
==Biography==
Although Hirosada has been acknowledged as "the most important and prolific mid-nineteenth century Osaka designer,"〔Keyes & Mizushima 1973, 210〕 little is known about his personal life. Those biographies which refer to his life dates identify his birth year as unknown and the year of his death as 1864〔Gerstle 2005, 302〕 or 1865.〔Roberts 1980, 44; Keyes & Mizushima 1973, 210〕 Art historians link his activity to between 1810 and 1865.〔Ronin Gallery: 1810-1864, Faulkner: 1819-1865, Keyes & Mizushima: 1826?-1863 (210), Gerstle: c.1819?-1863 (2002, 346) and c.1823?-(2005, 302)〕 He is believed to have apprenticed with prominent Osaka artist ,〔Roberts 1980, 44〕 and to have studied alongside Kunimasu in Edo in the early 1830s under .〔Gerstle 2005, 51〕
Following the relaxation of the Tempō Reforms in 1847, Hirosada became a major designer of medium-sized ''chūban'' prints, the format championed by his mentor Kunimasu.〔Gerstle 2005, 51〕 He was highly prolific, working mainly in the ''kabuki-e'' and ''yakusha-e'' genres. He is particularly known for his many ''ōkubi-e'' (lit. "large head") portraits of the leading actors on the Osaka kabuki stage, which he began to produce in 1841.〔Faulkner 2014〕 As a testament to his productivity, Gerstle notes, "In the period up to 1852 Hirosada designed approximately 800 single-sheet prints, making him the most prolific of the Osaka print artists by far and unquestionably a 'professional'."〔2005, 51〕
Hirosada produced designs for a number of Osaka-based publishing houses including Kitakagawa, Kyoisa, Isakichi, Kawato, Tenki and Meikōdō.〔Gerstle 2002, 346〕 Among his students were the artists , and .〔Fiorillo "Hirosada"〕 The latter succeeded Hirosada as both Sadahiro II and Hirosada II.
