Matsumura Keibun

Also known as Kwakei, was chiefly noted for his paintings of flowers and birds and his beautiful work in black and white. He illustrated the Keibun Gwafu and the drawings in the Go-Keibun Gwafu of 1839 are partly his own work and partly reproductions of drawings by Goshun (his elder brother who died in 1811). Plates by him are also occasionally found in compilation of contemporary work. Louise Norton Brown, Block Printing and Book Illustration in Japan, London, 1924.
