Returning Sails at Tsukuda from one of the Eight Views of Edo series by Toyohiro

Utagawa Toyohiro (歌川豊広, 歌川豐廣), birth name Okajima Tōjiro (1773–1828), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist and painter. He was a member of the Utagawa school and studied under Utagawa Toyoharu, the school's founder. His works include a number of ukiyo-e landscape series, which paved the way for Hokusai and Hiroshige (who studied under Toyohiro), an important series of ukiyo-e triptychs in collaboration with Toyokuni, and numerous book and e-hon illustrations, which occupied him in his later years.

The ukiyo-e series he produced include the following:

• Eight Views of Edo (several series)
• Eight Views of Omi (several series)
• Newly Published Perspective Pieces (Shinpan uki-e)
• Twelve Months by Two Artists, Toyokuni and Toyohiro (Toyokuni Toyohiro ryōga jūnikō), with Toyokuni
• Untitled series of A Day in the Life of a Geisha
• Untitled series of Eight Views of Edo in the Snow
