Katsukawa Shunchō

In this Japanese name, the family name is "Katsukawa".

Katsukawa Shunchō (勝川春湖^?) was a Japanese designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints, who was active from about 1783 to about 1795.

Although a student of Katsukawa Shunshō, Shunchō's output, which consists mostly of prints of beautiful women, more closely resembles the work of Torii Kiyonaga^[1].

Shunchō also designed many shunga prints, which also resemble those of Torii Kiyonaga.^[1]
