Kan Tenju, a native of Ise Matsusaka (present-day Mie Prefecture) generally known as Nakagawa Chôshirô, was a calligraphic artist (J., shoga ka) of the mid-Edo period (1615-1868). His sobriquet was Tainen and artist name was Suishinsai. He also used the name Kan Tenju, claiming himself a descendant of Yeo Jangwang (J., Yo Shôô) from Korea. He first studied the calligraphic style of Wen Zhengmig under Kazura Useki (1699-1779) and later mastered the styles of the Two Wangs (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzi). He was acquainted with Ike no Taiga (1723-76) and Kô Fuyô (1722-84), and the three climbed the mountains of Fuji, Asama and Hakusan together. He died in 1795 (Kansei 7) at the age of 69.
