The Utagawa school of Japanese painters, woodblock print designers and book illustrators are known for their work in the ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) genre. The school was founded by Utagawa Toyoharu (1735-1814), who moved from Kyoto to Edo (modern Tokyo), where he set up a woodblock print studio. The subject matter of ukiyo-e was the famous courtesans and leading kabuki actors of the Yoshiwara entertainment district in Edo. The Utagawa school was the most prolific in the field of printmaking, accounting for over half of Japan’s extant ukiyo-e prints. The lineage continued into the modern period in the work of artists such as Utagawa Yoshiiku.
