Also studied Nanga painting under Ooka Umpo, a pupil of Tani Buncho. In 1812 he adopted the name Hiroshige. The first prints to be published under his own name were bijin ga, a few surimono and landscapes in small format.
Painting was represented by the courtly school of *Kano Tanyu at Edo; the Tosa school; Ogata Korin (1658-1716), working in a revived *yamato-e tradition of great decorative splendour; and the 18th-c. nanga school.
