Biography: Painter and print artist, Kitagawa Utamaro's (q.v.) best pupil. In the Bunka era (1804-18) lived at Kodenma-cho sanchome Umaya Shindo, where he worked as a watchman. Began by designing prints of women and 'kibyoshi' using the name Kikumaro. From 1802 changed the way the characters with which this was written from 'chrysanthemum' to 'joy eternal'. From 1804 changed his name to Tsukimaro. From c. 1820 ceased to design prints, painting instead hanging scrolls of beauties in a style influenced by the Maruyama-Shijo school, which he signed 'Kansetsu'. His last dated work is an illustration for a 'kyoka' anthology published in 1836.
