Ogata Gekko (OGATA Gekko, September 15, 1859
Born on September 15, 1859 (October 10, 1859) in Yazaemon-cho, Edo Kyobashi (currently 4-3, Ginza) as a child of Seijiro Meiko. Real name, Masanosuke. Another issue: Sakurasai, Meikyousai, Hana Dawn Tower. The famous mirror family is the landowner of Katsushika, and his grandfather Chobei holds the right to collect dust, such as the daimyo family, the Edo mansion, and the Kuchiiriya who recruits human resources to wealthy merchants, and is touted as one of the "Sanchobei of Edo". The wings were good. However, when he lost his father due to illness at the age of 17 in 1876, his interests moved to another house and the house fell, and he moved to Kyobashi Yummachi.
He taught himself painting with the strong recommendation of his father, and studied "Zenken Kojitsu" with Kikuchi Yosai. While running a lantern shop in Kyobashi Yummachi, he drew "picture leaflets" and went around the main Kusazoshi shops, asking him to draw Nishiki-e. He polishes his painting skills by drawing pictures of Yoshiwara Yukaku, lacquer lacquer paintings, pottery for export, and lacquer ware sketches, which are praised by the cloisonne family Sosuke Namikawa. Under such circumstances, around 1877, he published a three-piece series of current nishiki-e called "Seikanron" (Kyosai Kimura "Kenpaku Gosho no Zu") at his own expense (Kawanabe Kyosai's). (There is also a theory that it caught my eye and received the recommendation) The name of the hit, Masanosuke Meiji, gradually became known.
