Chikayoshi Toyohara


Chikayoshi is a woodblock print artist known for her actor prints and depictions of everyday people and life (known as fūzoku-ga or ‘customs and manners’). She worked in the Utagawa school style in a competent and fluid manner. She was Toyohara Kunichika’s one female student, and they supposedly became a couple in later years.
