Utamaro II was the pupil of the renowned Utamaro I, and worked closely with his master until his death in 1806. His style was remarkably true to his teacher's, and even worked on creating Utamaro I's prints when he was not fit or well enough to carry out the work. On Utamaro I's death, the previously known Koikawa Shuncho stepped into his master's shoes, becoming Utamaro II. Until 1820, he signed prints with the same signature as his predecessor, but thereafter began signing prints as Kitagawa Tetsugoro.
