Katsukawa Shunchō (勝川 春潮) 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]
His work is held in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide, including the British Museum, [2] the Portland Art Museum, [3] the University of Michigan Museum of Art, [4] the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, [5] the Reading Public Museum, [6] the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, [7] the Harvard Art Museums, [8] the Minneapolis Institute of Art, [9] the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, [10] the Hyde Collection, [11] the MOA Museum of Art, [12] the Indianapolis Museum of Art, [13] the Brooklyn Museum, [14] the Suntory Museum of Art, [15] and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
