Mori Yūsen Japanese

Not on view

Mori Yūsen was the son of Mori Sosen (1747–1821), famous for his prolific production of monkey paintings. Later Yūsen was adopted by Mori Shūhō (1738–1823) and he lived in Osaka. As this painting demonstrates, he was one of Sosen’s pupils who continued to specialize in paintings of simians.
