He is an illustrator and a painter in later Edo period; one of UKIYOE artists.
Works are enormous, but not so refined compared with HARUNOBU and UTAMARO.
Ideas  and Compositions of him surplus other artists. Some scholar
found western infuluences.

In Japan, recently some exhibitions which only focused to him, 
and many visters were attracted, and someone were jammed,and some were 
waiting at door for a long time.
Nowadays he was regard as a very popular UKIYOE artist in Japan.
