Hodogaya
Utagawa Yoshiiku Japanese
Not on view
Yoshiiku, one of Kuniyoshi's best disciples, was active from the end of Edo to the Meiji period, and depicted a wide range of subject matter: beauties, actors, foreigners, and illustrations for newspapers. Here, he mixes traditional and new motifs together; the retinue of a samurai lord is marching along the Tōkaidō highway, and curious foreigners are watching the procession near the Hodogaya station, a few miles from Yokohama.
