The Utagawa school was a group of Japanese woodblock print artists; founded by Toyoharu.

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. Founder Toyoharu adopted Western-style deep perspective; an innovation in Japanese art. His immediate followers; Utagawa Toyohiro and Utagawa Toyokuni adopted bolder; more sensuous styles than Toyoharu and specialized in different genres 鈥?Toyohiro in landscapes and Toyokuni in kabuki actor prints. Later artists in the school specialized in other genres; such as warrior prints and mythic parodies.
