Adachi Ginko

born and died Japan; flourished circa 1874-1897
BiographyGinko Adachi was an ukiyo-e printmaker and illustrator known for his yakusha-e, or "actor portraits," as well as for his senso-e, or "war prints." Ginko studied with the Western-style painter Horyu Goseda before turning to woodblock printmaking and the Utagawa School in the 1870s. He completed his first print in 1873 and continued to produce new designs across a wide variety of genres through 1908. During the Sino-Japanese war (1894-1895), Ginko served as a war correspondent, producing scenes from the front in the triptych format for an eager audience back home.
