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, which tells us that he was known in the Ukiyo-e field.
He was primarily known for his artwork depicting the new culture from overseas and the scenery of Yokohama, which thrived as an international town. In the era, general citizens had never seen Western cultures, architecture from foreign countries, and fashions, so that people could know it from Ukiyo-es.
