Ryūkōsai Jokei (琉光斎 女圭) was a designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints, painter, and illustrator in Osaka, who was active from about 1777 to 1809. He was a student of Shitomi Kangetsu (1747-1797), who in turn was the son and pupil of Tsukioka Settei (1710-1786). Ryūkōsai is considered to be either the founder[1] or one of the founders[2] of the Osaka school of ukiyo-e. He is best known for his biting portraits of actors .[2] His prints are mostly in the hosoban format.
Pupils of Ryūkōsai include Shôkôsai Hanbei and Urakusai Nagahide.
