Primarily known as a literary figure, Kubo Shunman studied painting under Kitao Shigemasa. He was also inspired by Torii Kiyonaga, a famed painter of beauties, or bijin. In addition to
his nikuhitsu ukiyo-e, or painted images of the “floating world,” the artist is well known for his finely designed and produced surimono prints.
