Rebecca Salter in her Japanese Popular Prints... on page 18 gives a different take on the situation that Yoshifuji found himself in.
"A giant of the period, however, was Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-861). Although best known for warrior prints which reflected the militaristic undercurrents of the time, he was also responsible for some of the most light-heartend and humorous works in this book. His followers in the Utagawa school, Utagawa Yoshitsuya (1822-66), Utagawa Yoshitora (ca. 1850s-70s), and Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833-1904) and Utagawa Yoshifuji (1828-87) all worked in woodblock's difficult declining years. An efficient commercial printing and publishing industry had been built on the popular appetite for topical images reflecting the times. The audience which had sustained the prints so effectively was declining, and Western printing methods were being introduced. But a living still had to be made by the remaining artists and craftsmen trained in the old technology. They were obliged to explore other avenues. Yoshifuji, for example, became well-known for omocha-e (toy prints), made very cheaply and sold to children. The standard of production was undeniably inferior to earlier prints, but this does not mean that these prints are not worthy of attention... They may have been made as throwaway items (and indeed few remain) but they demonstrate a visual sophistication reminiscent of earlier prints and can reveal subtle insights into the forces working to change Japanese society from within and without."

TAISO YOSHITOSHI
(1839-1892)
Taiso Yoshitoshi was born in the city of Edo (now Tokyo) just before Japan’s violent transformation from a medieval to a modern society. In the mid 19th century pressures from the United States and Europe brought an end to Japan’s two hundred years of self-imposed isolation. In 1868 a pivotal period began known as the Meiji Restoration. It was marked by the return of Imperial power, heightened militarism, a new constitution and industrial advancement, as well as social and political reform. In the midst of shifting values, woodblock print artists like Yoshitoshi struggled to create images that would satisfy the public’s changing tastes.
During the Edo period (1600-1868) woodblock prints...
