Yoshiharu was a pupil of Kuniyoshi.
In the beginning, Yoshiharu had applied to be a pupil of the actor Shikan Nakamura, however, his adoptive father didn't agree on it, so he became a pupil of Kuniyoshi rather than an actor.
At first, he was named Yoshiharu (芳晴) but he changed his name to Yoshiharu (芳春) in the late Edo period. He was working as a Ukiyo-e artist from Edo to Meiji '20s. In his last years, he drew illustrations for The Konohana Shimbun newspapers.
