Utagawa Toyoharu

born Toyooka, Japan, 1735; died Edo, Japan, 1814
BiographyToyoharu is credited with developing the uki-e (perspective print). His use of perspective did not carry through to other ukiyo-e artists however, despite his status as founder of the Utagawa school.

Toyoharu first studied art in Kyoto with the Kanô painter Tsuruzawa Tangei (1688-1789), and later in Edo with Toriyama Seiken (1712-88).
