Yamamura Koka, who also used the art name Yamamura Toyonari, studied with Ogata Gekko (1859-1920) and graduated from the Tokyo Art School in 1907.<br/><br/> He began designing actor prints at least as early as 1915 — signing with both art names — by contributing to the short-lived magazine 'Shin Nigao' ('New Portraits'). However, it was his collaboration with the publisher Shozaburo Watanabe in the following year that provided Koka with a means to establish an impressive body of work in the actor print genre.
