Yokohama-e (literally “Yokohama pictures”) are ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints depicting foreigners and scenes of Yokohama. In 1859, the port of Yokohama was opened to foreigners, and ukiyo-e artists, primarily of the Utagawa school, produced more than 800 different woodblock prints in response to a general curiosity about these strangers. The production of Yokohama-e ceased in the 1880s. The most prolific artists working in this genre were Utagawa Yoshitora, Utagawa Yoshikazu, Utagawa Sadahide, Utagawa Yoshiiku, Utagawa Yoshimori, Utagawa Hiroshige II, Utagawa Hiroshige III, Utagawa Yoshitoyo, and Utagawa Yoshitomi. ==Gallery== File:FrenchManWithGeisha1861.JPG|Woodblock print by Utagawa Yoshitora of a Frenchman with a geisha, 1861 File:First steam train leaving Yokohama.jpg|First steam train leaving Yokohama, triptych by Utagawa Kunisada II File:John James Audubon - Japanese woodcut.jpg| Japanese print shows American naturalist and ornithologist John James Audubon (1785-1851) discovering that his work was eaten by a rat, unsigned File:Foreigner and Wrestler at Yokohama 1861.jpg|Sumo wrestler throwing a foreigner at Yokohama by Utagawa Yoshifuji, 1861 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yokohama-e」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
