So Shiseki [Kusumoto; Kohachiro; Kunkaku; Katei, Sekkei, Sekko, Sogaku]
(b Edo [now Tokyo], 1715; d Edo, 1786). Japanese painter. His family lived near Soonji in the Asakusa district of Edo. He probably received some early basic training in painting in the capital, but his desire to further his painting career led him to travel to Nagasaki in search of recently imported Chinese paintings and newly arrived Chinese painters. He seems to have passed several years in studying at Nagasaki during the 1750s.
