Utagawa Yoshikazu

Yoshikazu Utagawa was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who lived and worked during the late Edo period, around 1850 to 1870. He is best known for his Yokohama-e series of woodblock prints depicting foreigners and Western elements in Japan after its forced opening through the Treaty of Kanagawa with the United States in 1854. Utagawa was a pupil of Kuniyoshi Utagawa, another prominent ukiyo-e artist. He frequently signed his works as Ichikawa Yoshikazu.
