Suzuki Kinsen was born in Wakayama in 1867 and studied 'Nan-ga' under Tsukushi Suiun. Since he could not get a job with Nan-ga painting, Kinsen studied ukiyo-e by himself, and drew many 'kuchi-e' (frontispiece illustrations) for <i>kodanbon</i> (book for story telling), and illustrations for Kobe newspapers.<br/><br/> His illustrations were noted for their historical accuracy. It is said that the majority of illustrations for the <i>kodanbon</i> published in Osaka were by Kinsen.
