series of pictures from woman's life from childhood to motherhood (Berlin Kunstgewerbemuseum).
Of Shuncho's single sheets, the following may be mentioned:—
- Pictures of wrestlers.
- Triptych (about 1790, according to Fenollosa, No. 272), women stepping out of a boat; one of his most beautiful things.
- A little girl journeying on horseback.
- Promenades and feasts.
- Young prince taking riding exercise.
- Two princes shooting with the bow.
- A print in five sections: travellers, with Fuji in the background.
Katsukawa Shunzan also began as a pupil of Shunsho, and later followed closely Kiyonaga; nor was he either lacking in force and originality.[1] He worked from the middle of the eighth decade till the end of the century. Of his triptychs, one which represents a scene at the gate of a temple is celebrated. Reproduction in Strange, page 80; a triptych in the Hayashi Catalogue (No. 772). Fenollosa (Outline, pl. xiii.) reproduces a print of about 1777.
Fellow-pupils of Kiyonaga were the following artists: Torii Kiyotsune, who is wrongly cited by Burty (Catalogue, No. 148) as a pupil of Kiyonaga.[2] On the contrary, he betrays everywhere his descent from Kiyomitsu by the graceful formation of his figures and by their very small feet and hands; he also exhibits the influence of Harunobu. Besides actor prints he produced book-illustrations; one of his books, in two volumes, appeared in Yedo in 1774 (Duret). There are mentioned as being by him:—
- Twenty-four examples of filial love; from the Chinese.
