Bio

Suzuki Harushige was a pseudonym used by an artist better known to history as Shiba Kôkan. He began his career designing prints and painting in Harunobu's style, sometimes using the signature Harushige but also--perhaps after Harunobu's death--forging Harunobu's signature. Later in life, he took up the serious study of European-style realism, creating copperplate prints and paintings inspired by imported Dutch books.
