Buson was a painter as well as a haiku poet and equally proficient in both disciplines. Together with Ike Taiga (1723-1776) he is known for establishing Nanga painting in the 18th century; as a haiku poet he is considered the true successor of Matsuo Bashō.
Apart from his landscapes, he is notable for the empathy and social-mindedness of his paintings of human figures.
