Shiokawa Bunrin (1808-1877) was a pupil of Okamoto Toyohiko, a leading painter of the Shijô school based in Kyoto. During much of his career he was in the service of the Yasui family and had many patrons among Kyoto aristocracy. He later studied Western-style painting, and founded the Jounsha art society, which supported many Kyoto artists.
