The artist

Biography

Hasegawa Settan (1778–1843), a pupil of Utagawa Toyokuni, was probably best known for his illustrations to the Illustrated Famous Places of Edo, Edo meisho zue (1834/1836), and the Annual Events in the Eastern Capital, Toto saijiki (1832). He received the honorary rank of hokkyo in about 1824.
