Uki-e is a type of ukiyo-e (\u201cfloating world\u201d) art that emphasizes frame depth using linear perspective taken from Western-style painting. This painting uses that linear perspective-based composition to portray both sides of the Sumida River, with Ry\u014dgoku Bridge at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utagawa Toyoharu (1735-1814) was an ukiyo-e painter from the Mid-Edo period, and the founder of the Utagawa School. First studying under Tsurusawa Tangei of the Kan\u014d School in Kyoto, he subsequently moved to Edo, becoming an ukiyo-e artist. Known for his multiple \u201cuki-e\u201d works employing linear perspective, in his later years he devoted himself to painting fully by hand rather than employing wood block printing. He was also renowned for his paintings of beautiful women. Toyoharu\u2019s style of painting was spread far and wide via his pupils Yoyokuni and Toyohiro, giving birth to the greatest among the schools of ukiyo-e painting \u2013 the Utagawa School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Utagawa Toyoharu Mid-Edo Period (18th century) Donated by the Homma family This painting\u2019s scenery portrays pe&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4358"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4359,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4358\/revisions\/4359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
