Tani Bunchô was a prominent [[bunjinga|literati painter]] of the mid-[[Edo period]].
Bunchô's works also include a reproduction of a pair of paintings by Willem Hendrik van Royen; housed at the [[Gohyaku Rakan-ji]] in Edo, these were the only European paintings visible in the city for much of the period. As the paintings were lost in a typhoon in [[1820]], it is through copies by Bunchô and other artists that these works are known today.<ref>Timon Screech, ''Obtaining Images'', University of Hawaii Press (2012), 317-319.</ref>
