Tani Buncho was a Japanese painter and poet born in Edo (now Tokyo) in 1763. He was the son of a samurai and was trained by his father and other artists in traditional Chinese and Japanese painting styles. Buncho became famous for his skill in painting landscapes, flowers, birds and animals. He also wrote poetry and was a calligrapher. His work was influenced by the literati painting style of China, which emphasised individual expression and creativity. Buncho was appointed the official painter of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1790 and later became a teacher at the shogunate's art school. He was also a member of a literary society called the Kyodan, which included other prominent artists and writers of the time. Buncho's style evolved over time, and he experimented with new techniques and subjects. He was known for his use of bold brushstrokes and bright colours, as well as his attention to detail and composition. Buncho died in 1841 at the age of 78. His legacy continues to influence Japanese art and culture to this day.
