He know this painter is a disciple of Hiroshige Utagawa, but I don’t know anything else. It is said that he was accused of dealing with the issue of successor to the Edo Shogunate at the time of the work “青物魚軍勢大合戦之図” and was in danger of life.Probably because of that, the number of works is not large.
