Miyagawa Shuntei

Miyagawa Shuntei (宮川春汀) is a Japanese printmaker and illustrator whose work survives in museum collections but whose full biographical record has not been assembled in standard English-language references on Japanese prints.

Artworks attributed to Miyagawa Shuntei include color woodblock prints depicting famous places in Tokyo, among them views of Koraku-en Park, the Botanical Gardens, and Niju-bashi Bridge, produced as part of a series titled Tokyo Meisho Zue (Famous Places in Tokyo). These subjects and the series format suggest a working period in the late Meiji or Taisho era, when illustrated series of famous views were a well-established genre. The prints demonstrate solid command of the woodblock medium and a documentary sensibility oriented toward urban topography.
