Known as the "Sharaku of Kansai", Ryukusai is one of the most highly esteemed artists of the Osaka genre and, in fact, predated Sharaku and is known to have influenced him as well as Shunei. His prints are exceedingly rare and are highly coveted by institutions and top collectors worldwide. This fine exhibition catalogue represents the best attempt at a catalogue raisonné for this influential artist.

The book illustrates all of Ryukusai's known printed works as well as dozens of original sketches and paintings. A must-have for the Osaka aficionado!
