A person from Edo. His origins are unknown. It is presumed that he was a ronin (masterless samurai) from the Tada Genji clan. Initially, he was from the Hirabayashi family. His name was Uroko, his azana (courtesy name) was Keizui, and his go (art name) was Toko. After being implicated in the Meiwa Incident of Yamagata Daini, he changed his azana to Bunryu and his go to Toko. He entered the Hayashi family and became a pioneer of eclecticism, and also studied under Koi Sai (Koi Sai) and gained fame as a calligrapher, and later advocated for the study of ancient calligraphy and established the Toko school. On the other hand, he also enjoyed writing gesaku (light literature), leaving behind the dangibon (talk books) "Meisho Yaso Annai" (1756), the sharebon "Iso Roku-jo" (1757), and "Kokon Yoshiwara Zentaizen" (1768), which became the foundation for later Edo sharebon.
