Tsukioka Settei (1710–1786) was a prominent Japanese artist of the Edo period, renowned for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, a style of woodblock prints and paintings that flourished in Japan from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Settei's work is distinguished by its delicate lines, intricate details, and vibrant colors, which capture the essence of the Edo period's cultural and social milieu. He was particularly known for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), which depicted the grace and elegance of courtesans and geisha, as well as his yakusha-e (actor prints), which portrayed kabuki actors in dynamic poses.

Settei's artistic journey began under the tutelage of the Kano school, a prestigious lineage of painters that dominated Japanese art for centuries. However, he later transitioned to ukiyo-e, where he found his unique voice and style. His works often reflect a keen observation of everyday life, infused with a sense of humor and an eye for the subtleties of human expression. Settei's prints were not only popular among the common people but also appreciated by the intellectual elite of his time.

One of Settei's significant contributions to the ukiyo-e tradition was his role in the development of the Osaka school of ukiyo-e, which emerged as a distinct regional style. Unlike the Edo-based ukiyo-e artists, who focused on the bustling life of the capital, Settei and his contemporaries in Osaka depicted the local culture and theatrical scenes, contributing to a rich and diverse artistic landscape.

Despite his influence and the popularity of his works, detailed information about specific works by Tsukioka Settei, such as "Ukiyoe School," remains scarce. His legacy, however, endures through the continued appreciation and study of his prints, which offer a window into the vibrant world of Edo-period Japan.
