Kyôu (1810-84) from the province of Bungo (present-day Ôita Prefecture) was a southern-style painter who studied under Tanomura Chikuden (1777-1835), who was also a native of Bungo. Many of Kyôu's landscape paintings resemble Chikuden's style. He learned Chinese epic poetry from Hoashi Banri (1778-1852) and Rai Sanyô (1780-1832). Kyôu was typical of literati painters who were active during the last days of the Edo period (1615-1868).
