Shûki studied under Onishi Keisai (1773-1829). After his master’s death he moved on to Watanabe Kazan (1793-1841). He lived in Edo as a retainer of Lord Ôkubo of Odawara until his later years when he served the Doi clan. Shûki is best known for his kachôga, bird and flower painting. His style resembles that of his teacher Kazan and the work of Tsubaki Chinzan (1801-54).
