Utagawa-ha

The Utagawa school (歌川派^?) was a group of Japanese woodblock print artists, founded by Toyoharu.

His pupil, Toyokuni I, took over after Toyoharu's death and raised the group to become the most famous and powerful woodblock print school for the remainder of the 19th century.

Hiroshige, Kunisada, Kuniyoshi and Yoshitoshi were Utagawa students.

The school became so successful and well-known that today more than half of all surviving ukiyo-e prints are from it.
