Hine Taizan considered himself an amateur scholar with a refined bunjin lifestyle, but consistently acted the opposite by boasting and excessive drinking. [Jon, ik heb dit een beetje aangepast omdat dronkenschap traditioneel eigenlijk tot het bunjin ethos behoort, maar je moest wel dronken zijn op een poetische manier natuurlijk]. Taizan was born in a village not far from Osaka. In his early years he worked under the patronage of a wealthy shipping merchant, who introduced him to Okada Hankô (1782-1846) in 1842. Soon after, he was also introduced to Nukina Kaioku (1778-1863), who became his teacher. When Taizan moved to Kyoto in 1846, he studied briefly with the Nagasaki painter-monk Hidaka Tetsuô (1791-1871). Taizan was popular among the Kansai aristocracy and had many patrons and friends in these circles.
