Toyoharu was the founder of the Utagawa school and is said to have taken the name Utagawa from his residence in Shiba-Udagawa-cho. He studied Chinese spectacles and Western copperplate engravings by copying them into ukiyo-e, eventually mastering perspective. This expertise allowed him to create uki-e and other works that showcased depth and spatial illusion, making a significant impact on Edo-period art. Shopping Guide & Information
