Oda Kaisen
1785-1862
| Kaisen had been a pupil of Go Shun (1752-1811), the artist who began the successful style of the Shijô school of Kyoto. Kaisen left to study under Rai San'yô (1780-1832), however, and moved with him to Kyûshû where for five years he studied Chinese painting of the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) and Ming dynasty (1368-1644). He was later to become a leading artist of the Chinese-derived Nanga (Southern school) style. |
