Kunisada III (三代目 歌川国貞; 1848 - October 26, 1920) was a ukiyo-e artist of the Utagawa School in the Meiji era. Born in Edo (Tokyo), he trained in his childhood under Kunisada (also known as Toyokuni III, 1786 - 1865), and after his death under Kunisada II (1823 - 1880). Like other members of the Utagawa School, Kunisada III produced prints in a wide range of genres, but he specialized in yakusha-e (portraits of kabuki actors) and views of the modernization of Japan, and especially Tokyo, in the Meiji period. Kunisada III used a variety of pennames throughout his career, including the similar sounding Kunisama (国政).
