Biography:

This artist was active from 1830-37. Roger Keyes said: "Perhaps a later name for Shun'yōsai Shunshi and possibly a female artist."

Osakaprints.com added: "Lühl... suggests the artist might have been a pupil of Hokushû, whereas recent research by Fuchida Keiko (渕田恵子) at the Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi Prefecture, indicates that Hokumyô was a pupil of Hokuei.

The Naniwa Shoryû gajin meika annai (Guide to the many famous contemporary artists of Osaka), circa 1831, cites a "Shunpusai Hokumyô" as an actor portraitist living in Dôjima, Osaka."

"Shunpusai Hokumyō, signing as Shunpu, was a student of Shunkōsai Hokushu and one of the most prolific of artists in the koban format."
