Examples of Sawa Sekkyō's signature, both reading “Sekkyō ga”

Sawa Sekkyō (沢雪嶠) was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was originally a pupil of Tsutsumi Tōrin, a painter of the Kanō school, but left the school and became an independent ukiyo-e artist. Sekkyō is best known for his landscapes and bird-and-animal studies, the latter often printed entirely in black or blue ink (aizuri-e).

Sekkyō's name may be written in Japanese as 沢雪喬, 沢雪崎, or as 沢雪橋.
