Gyokusen came from a long line of Mochizuki painters. In 1855, at age 21, he had already become the head of his family and had painted door panels for the imperial palace. By the end of the Edo period he was recognized as one of Kyoto’s top painters. He was a central figure in art education and won numerous awards in national painting exhibitions.
