Maruyama Okyo [Issho; Okyo; Osui Gyofu; Rakuyo Sanjin]

(b Kameoka [now Kyoto Prefecture] or Kyoto, 1733; d Kyoto, 1795). Japanese painter. Although born into a farming family, he showed an early talent for drawing. His parents, after trying unsuccessfully to have him become a monk, apprenticed him first to a clothing shop in Kyoto and then to a toymaker there, for whom he painted dolls. Okyo frequented a cosmetics shop for which he designed accessories, and it was at the instigation of the shop’s customers that he undertook formal training as a painter.
