Shunbaisai Hokuei


Shunbaisai Hokuei, also known as Shunkō III, was a designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints in Osaka, and was active from about 1824 to 1837. He was a student of Shunkōsai Hokushū. Hokuei’s prints most often portray the kabuki actor Arashi Rikan II.
Shunbaisai Hokuei should not be confused with Tōkōen Hokuei, an early 19th-century Edo printmaker who is also commonly referred to as "Hokuei".
