Life and work

[edit | edit source]

No biographical details of Chōki survive. He was a follower of Miyagawa Chōshun, and considered Chōshun's leading pupil.[1]

Chōki's surviving works come from the Kyōhō (1716–1736) to the Kanpō eras; most are from Kyōhō. These paintings follow the style of Chōshun in depicting the tastes of the time in fine detail. The majority are set in the pleasure districts.[1]
