Utagawa Yoshikazu gained significant recognition for his Yokohama-e series, depicting Western foreigners with unique appearances, customs, and behaviors. 

Utagawa's woodblock prints, including the Yokohama-e series, are not just a collection of art, but a vivid depiction of pivotal events from Japan's medieval history, making them an invaluable part of the country's artistic heritage.

He was born in Edo (Tokyo) and remained there. He embarked on his printmaking journey under the tutelage of Kuniyoshi Utagawa. Yoshikazu emerged as a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e genre, particularly known for his yokohama-e, a series of woodblock prints portraying foreigners and Western elements previously unfamiliar to the Japanese populace. These prints gained prominence following the forced opening of Japan in 1854 through the Treaty of Kanagawa with the United States of America, a significant event that marked the end of Japan's isolation and the beginning of a new era of cultural exchange.

Yoshikazu frequently signed his prints as Ichikawa Yoshikazu.
