Tani Buncho 1763-1840
Buncho was seen as the leading Nanga painter in Edo, but he had studied various schools - Kano, Tosa, ukiyo-e, even Western painting. He found a very vigorous style that looked completely spontaneous, and in the 1790s launched the Edo vogue for painting in front of a paying audience.
