Hokusai began using the name Shunrō after entering the studio of his first master, Katsukawa Shunshō, around 1778. During this period, he primarily created yakusha-e (actor prints), focusing on kabuki theatre actors, in the narrow hosoban format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print was owned by the renowned art dealer Hayashi Tadamasa (note his red seal under Shunro’s signature)  a Japanese print merchant in Paris who supplied much of Western Europe with Japanese prints.
