Yoshitora was one of the pupils of Kuniyoshi and was active from the end of the Edo era to the Meiji era. In 1968, he became the second artist in the Ukiyo-e artist ranking, and it tells us that he had actually been known in the Ukiyo-e field.
He had especially been known for his artwork of the depictions of the new culture which came from overseas and the scenery of Yokohama, which thrived as an international town. In the era, general citizens hadn't seen the actual western cultures, architecture from foreign countries, and fashions so people could know it from Ukiyo-es.
