(2) Uragami Shunkin (1779-1846) was a Japanese nanga (literati) painter who lived during the late Edo period. He was born in Bizen Province (present-day Okayama Prefecture) as the first son of Uragami Gyokudo, who was a samurai for the Ikeda daimyo at the time. He learned painting and calligraphy from his father when he was a child. Around 1792, the art dealer Nyoi Dojin began buying Gyokudo’s as well as Shunkin’s works. Uragami Shunkin later settled in Kyoto, establishing himself as a Literati painter conversant in the related arts of poetry, calligraphy, and playing the koto, the musical instrument that had been one of his father’s fortes. Shunkin, who was active in the intellectual and literary circle of Rai Sanyo (1780–1832) and others in Kyoto, also achieved a reputation as a connoisseur of antique paintings, calligraphies, inkstones, and metalwork, all of which he collected himself.
