Shötei Hokuju
Japanese, 1763 - 1824
The dates of Hokuju's birth and death are unknown. He was a pupil of Hokusai, but otherwise practically nothing is known about him. His earliest known surviving work, a "surimono", is dated 1802. His work seems to have been sparse. Fenellosa assigned a date of 1835 to his landscapes, but recent research suggests a working period from the early 1800s to the mid-1820s.
