Izumi Morikazu

Morikazu Izumi (Morikazu Izumi, year of birth unknown--November 5, 1814 ) is a painter from the Edo period.

His surname is Izumi, commonly known as Yoshibei. It is called Jukatei. My father is Yoshinobu Jukotei. The issue of Jukatei is inherited from Yoshinobu. Born in Edo, he lived in Hongo 1-chome (2-chome in one theory), and was a guest who was further called "Mekichi" from the nickname "Kichibei, the centerpiece". This Mekichi is also used as the name of the painting, and the work with the signature "Jukatei Mekichi" remains.

According to Keisai Eisen's "Unnamed Ooh Essay", he became a Kano Tanshin scholar after being a second-generation Tsutsumi Torin's scholar, but Moriichi's "Mamoru" character was allowed for scholarship. It is said that Tanshin was a young man in his early teens when Mekichi began to call himself Moriichi, so it is said that Tanshin's master is a misrepresentation. It is said that he learned the Kano school painting method well and drew the cloud dragon and bell dragon of sumi-e, and also succeeded his father Yoshinobu's business and worked as the head of a town painter for coloring shrines and temples such as Nikko and Tokugawa family mausoleum. The drawing period was from Kansei to culture, and although he was good at samurai painting, he also draws beautiful women's paintings and surimono. The graveyard is Muenzaka's Koanji Temple in Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
