Biography:
"Rakkaken [sic] Yoshiyuki was a little known student of Yoshiume (1819-1879). He should not be confused with the Edo artist Ichireisai Yoshiyuki (active 1850s - 1860s), who signed with a different character for yuki and was a pupil of the famous Edo master Kuniyoshi. There was also an earlier Osaka artist named Takagi Yoshiyuki who worked in the early 1820s and used the same characters in his name as Ichireisai Yoshiyuki. It appears that Rakkaken [sic] Yoshiyuki worked in Osaka until around 1868, when he then moved to Tokyo (formerly Edo)."

There is an 1868 triptych in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston signed on the right hand sheet: "Yoshiume monjin Yoshiyuki". This would indicate that Yoshiyuki had studied with Yoshiume.
Keyes notes that he was active from ca. 1856-72.
We have looked at a large collection of Yoshiyuki's work in Boston, but have only found the name of one publisher, Ishikawaya Wasuke. These are prints done in the style of Hiroshige's 100 Views of Edo, but here are "100 Views of Osaka".
