The byōbu might have possibly been made after the artist Haginoya Senkyō
Haginoya Senkyo(萩谷遷喬) was born in An'ei(安永) 8, the son of Hagiya Takashi, a Mito domain retainer. He is said to have been a disciple of Ikeda Ryomin(池田涼珉) of the Mito Kano school, but there are indications of Shijo school(四条派) influence, and he was probably one of the artists influenced by the painting style of Gessen(月僊), a monk who lived in Hitachi Ota(日立太田), a suburb of Mito(水戸). Gessen(月僊) was a monk at Jakushoji Temple(寂照寺) in Yamada, Ise, and a student of Maruyama Okyo(円山応挙). Senkyo was greatly loved by Mito Nariaki(水戸斉昭), lord of the Mito domain, and left portraits, sliding door paintings, and other works by his order. He died in 1791 at the age of 79. Along with Hayashi Jikko(林十江) and Tachihara Kyosho(立原杏所), he was highly renowned as one of the three greatest Mito painters.
