Biography: Print artist. Pupil of Kano Gyokuen Chikanobu. An artist who trained in the Kano School which dominated Edo painting at the time, Sekien had many links with the 'Ukiyo-e' School, such as producing designs for novels and illustrated books and portraits for use as votive panels. He did not produce any single-sheet prints, but among his pupils were many who became 'Ukiyo-e' artists, most noticeably Utamaro.
