There is also a theory that it is the name behind Hiroshige Utagawa's master, Hirokage Utagawa. There is also a painter named Ikkei Kunifuku (Utagawa Kunifuku), who has a name that connects a wide view with a view. The only document that describes one view is the table of contents of "Tokyo Famous Places forty-eight Views", which is an introductory text written by Sansantei Manned. According to it, at one point he traveled to Kyoto to study Maruyama Okyo, studied the Shijo school, and later abandoned the painting industry and lived a life of avoiding the world, but in the Meiji era he began to draw caricature nishiki-e at the request of Shobo. ..
