Description
Moronobu was born at Hota of Awa province in 1618. Moronobu was the son of a well-respected dyer and a gold and silver-thread brocade artisan in the village of Hodamura, Awa Province, near Edo Bay in present-day Kyonan, Chiba Prefecture. After moving to Edo, Moronobu, who had learned his father's craft, studied both Tosa and Kanō-style painting. He thus had a solid grounding in both decorative crafts and academic painting, which served him well when he then turned to ukiyo-e, which he studied with his mentor, the Kambun Master. Moronobu at first lived at Muramatsu-cho but later moved to Tachibana-cho and died in the 4th year of the Shotoku era (1694) at age of 77.
