His first work consisted of pictures of "Kabuki" actors and took illustrations in the fashion of Kitagawa -Toyoaki.Later, with the publisher "Tsutaya - Jujiro" as his patron, he took the name "Utamaro" and devoted himself to drawing pictures of beautiful woman. Utamaro's models for many of his masterpieces were beautiful woman from streets and licensed quarters of Edo. Stories abound of his love affairs with these ladies.
