Toyohiro (1773 - 1828 )
Toyohiro was born and raised in Edo and entered the studio of Toyoharu alongside his contemporary Toyokuni in 1782. Studying both ukiyo-e and Kano painting, Toyohiro worked mostly in the hosoban (long and narrow prints) and surimono (privately commissioned, lavishly printed small-scale prints) formats. He was also an innovator in the landscape print genre. An elegant and graceful artist, Toyohiro is best known for his role as a teacher of the famous landscape printer, Hiroshige.
Posthumous Editions & Reprints
Some print designs were so beloved that they remained popular long after their original printing. From delicate surimono to the iconic landscapes of Hiroshige and Hokusai, famous designs reemerged from the blocks of Meiji-period printers and continue to be printed by contemporary publishers today.
