Odagiri Shunko
Odagiri Shunkô was a samurai and court painter in service to the Tokugawa lords of Owari han (Nagoya) in the late Edo and early Meiji periods.
He studied under Mori Kôga. He served in a number of low- to mid-ranking positions, including as umamawari (guard), shoinban (guard of the study), and other positions. In 1865, he produced two significant paintings at the order of the domain: Owari shi and Mino shi. Along with Okada Kei he also produced the Owari meisho zue, a collection of famous places of the Owari area. His other works include Owari eiketsu gaden, a handscroll painting of the lord's sankin kôtai procession, and a number of maps of Owari and other provinces.
