About the artist: A painter of the Nanga school (inspired by Chinese literati painting), he first studied under Hidaka Testuô (1791–1871) in Nagasaki, before travelling to China in 1864, where he was a pupil of the Qing painter Hu Gongshou (1823–1886). There he also studied the works of the ancient masters and travelled the country to produce studies from life, before returning to settle in Tokyo, where he very quickly gained great popularity. It was said that “his fame rose suddenly and that so many people sought to acquire his paintings that a veritable crowd would gather outside his door”.
His works are held in a number of Western museums, in the United States and Europe.
