Urushibara Mokuchû was a woodblock print artist who resided in England for a time in the 1910s.

Urushibara first traveled to England to demonstrate woodblock print techniques at the 1910 Japan-British Exhibition. He remained in England afterward, and worked for a time at the British Museum, where he produced a woodblock print reproduction of the Admonitions Scroll, among other works. He later also collaborated with Anglo-Welsh painter Frank Brangwyn, producing color woodblock prints based on Brangwyn's watercolors.
