The composition and the expressive quality of the figure reflect the artist's ability to convey narrative and emotion, hallmarks of the Ukiyo-e tradition. As with many of Kunisada's works, "The Warrior Monk Yokogawa Kakuhan" serves as a window into the cultural and historical context of the period, offering insights into the values, beliefs, and aesthetics of Edo Japan.

Utagawa Kunisada's contributions to the Ukiyo-e genre were instrumental in its development and enduring popularity.
