Noro Kaiseki (1747-1828), whose given name was Ryû and sobriquet was Ryûnen, used artist names such as Chikuseki, Konzai, and Shiseki D. He was born in Wakayama Prefecture. He studied under Kuwayama Gyokushû, who was also a native of Wakayama and discussed the perception of the literati in his books Gyokushû gashu and Eji higen. Although Kaiseki later came to Kyoto and studied under Ike no Taiga (1739-76), he was hired as an official painter by the Kishû clan in 1797 (Kansei 9). There are very few cases in which literati artists became official artists for the government.
