?-1851
male
A painter from Seto. He first worked for Mori Takamasa, primarily focusing on bijin-ga (paintings of beautiful women), but later moved to Kyoto where he was under the patronage of Yamamoto Baiitsu. Worked in Chinese-style dyed painting and gold-painted porcelain in the kilns of Kawamoto Osamu and Kawamoto Hansuke. Such works made by Kawamoto Osamu’s kiln (Kansendo) or Kawamoto Hansuke (Shintoen) are generally marked with the characters “Hanji” or stamped or hand-painted with wonderful Chinese-style paintings on gosu porcelain. Those with the inscriptions “Hanji” and “Seito” are collectively known as Hanjiyaki.
