She was a main attraction around the Ry?goku bridge. Amelia is the birth defect of lacking one or more limbs. It can also result in a shrunken or deformed limb. Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - January, 12 1865) was the most popular, prolific and financially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th century Japan. Following the traditional pattern of the Utagawa school, Kunisada's main occupation was kabuki and actor prints, and about 60% of his designs fall in this category. Woodcut 1868.
