About

Why this artist matters now

Utagawa Sadahide , also known as Gountei Sadahide, was a Japanese artist best known for his prints in the ukiyo-e style as a member of the Utagawa school. His prints covered a wide variety of genres; amongst his best known are his Yokohama-e pictures of foreigners in Yokohama in the 1860s, a period when he was a best-selling artist. His work was chosen by the Tokugawa shogunate's delegation to be displayed at the International Exposition of 1867 in Paris.
