Answer

Utamaro did not only create prints, he also painted. In fact, some of his most famous works are paintings. He was a master of Ukiyo-e, a style of Japanese woodblock printing that flourished in the Edo period (1603-1868). Utamaro's prints are often characterized by their delicate lines and beautiful, often erotic, subjects. His paintings are equally beautiful and skillfully executed.
