Kawamura Bumpo was a painter and print artist working in Kyoto. He studied under the Chinese-influenced painter Kishi Ganku (1749-1839) and thereby became familiar with the style of the Maruyama-Shijo painters. He taught painting to the important Confucian scholar Rai Sanyo (1780-1831), who wrote the preface for this book.
