Utamaro's work is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors, achieved through the woodblock printing technique. This method allowed for the production of multiple copies, making ukiyo-e prints accessible to a broader audience. The artist's innovative approach to composition and his focus on the individual personalities of his subjects set his work apart from his contemporaries.
