"Signed Shunparo Jo Kokan Shiba Shun Kore [o] Utsusu, Sealed Shiba And Shun No In" is a notable work by Shiba Kōkan (司馬 江漢, 1747–1818), a Japanese artist and scholar from the Edo period who was known for his pioneering efforts in Western-style painting and copperplate printing in Japan. This work exemplifies Kōkan's integration of Western artistic techniques, particularly those he learned through Rangaku, or "Dutch learning," which was the study of Western sciences and arts by the Japanese during the isolationist Edo period through limited contacts with the Dutch enclave in Dejima, Nagasaki.

The title of the work indicates that it was signed with Kōkan's pseudonym "Shunparo," and sealed with his seals "Shiba" and "Shun no In." The use of multiple seals and pseudonyms was a common practice among Japanese artists for authentication and branding purposes. The piece itself is likely to be a reflection of Kōkan's engagement with Western realism and perspective, which set his work apart from the more traditional Japanese styles of his contemporaries.

Shiba Kōkan was an influential figure in the late Edo period, and his work marked a significant departure from the dominant Japanese artistic traditions of the time. He was one of the first Japanese artists to conduct experiments with oil painting and to adopt copperplate printing methods, which allowed for the reproduction of images with fine detail and shading not achievable through the woodblock prints that were popular in Japan at the time.

The specific work "Signed Shunparo Jo Kokan Shiba Shun Kore [o] Utsusu, Sealed Shiba And Shun No In" is a testament to Kōkan's innovative spirit and his role in the early adoption of European artistic techniques in Japan. It would be of particular interest to scholars studying the cross-cultural exchange between Japan and the West, as well as those examining the evolution of Japanese art during a period of increasing, albeit limited, global interaction.

As an artist, Shiba Kōkan left a legacy that not only reflects the cultural and artistic dynamics of the Edo period but also foreshadows the more extensive Western influence on Japanese art in the subsequent Meiji era. His works remain crucial for understanding the early stages of this cultural fusion and the development of modern artistic expressions in Japan.
