*''Japanese'': [[池田]]孤村 ''(Ikeda Koson)''
Ikeda Koson was a [[Rinpa]] painter of the late [[Edo period]], who studied under [[Sakai Hoitsu|Sakai Hôitsu]].
Koson was born in [[Echigo province]], but moved to [[Edo]] when he was still young and became a student of Sakai Hôitsu. He developed a personal style which expanded beyond Rinpa, and was quite varied.
Having studied Hôitsu's ''[[Ogata Korin|Kôrin]] hyakuzu'' ([[1864]]), the following year he produced, in honor of his teacher, a volume entitled ''Hôitsu shônin shinseki kagami''.
Some of his works are quite standard Rinpa, but others are seen as being innovative, and predecessors to the [[Nihonga]] of the [[Meiji period]].
