Bamboo and blossom Uragami Shunkin was the eldest son and pupil of Uragami Gyokudô (1745-1820), a retainer of the Okayama Shinden clan. When his father left the clan in 1794, Shunkin went with him and for five years they travelled through Japan together. Shunkin became well acquainted with the sake brewer, bunjin, and collector Kimura Kenkadô (1736-1802). His collection became an important source for Shunkin’s paintings of nature. After Shunkin had settled in Kyoto in 1799, he joined the conservative bunjin group around Rai San’yô (1780-1832) and Shinozaki Shôchiku (1781-1851).
