Shosai - Watermelon Festival in Tokyo

Ikkei Shosai

Amusing scene from Tokyo Famous Place Twelve Months - June. One interesting piece of this story is that little is known about the artist, Shosai Ikkei’s life. He was a student of Hiroshige III and was active from 1860 to the 1870s. He only produced 132 prints and 6 picture books. Which isn’t very much at all. すいか 本物 浮世絵 一景画 東京名所.
