(Omitted) Even when looking at a single painting that has an original source, what is truly felt is Kuniyoshi's 'artistic skill.' Whatever the subject or idea, once Kuniyoshi has absorbed it into himself, he expresses it and shows it to us as his own creative world. His ability to digest and express things is simply awful.
