Chinzan was a samurai attached to the gouvernment of Tokugawa, an officer of lancers. Like many literate officers at that time, they devoted their free time to intellectual pursuits and Chinzan devotes himself to painting. He became a pupil and subsequently a great friend of Watanabe Kazan (1793-1841) and raised his son Shoka (1835-1887) after Kazans’ death. Like Kazan he painted portraits in a Western way, but mainly kachô-e.
