Gatōken Shunshi (画登軒 春芝) was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints in Osaka who was active from about 1820 to 1828. He was a student of Shunkōsai Hokushū and the teacher of Gakōken Shunshi. Gatōken Shunshi is best known for his portraits of the kabuki actors, especially the star Onoe Tamizō II.

## Other artists names Shunshi[edit]

* Signatures of other artists named Shunshi from left to right: “Seiyōsai Shunshi ga” (青陽齋 春子 画) and “Gakōken Shunshi ga”( 画好軒 春枝 画)

There are three other, less well known, ukiyo-e artists called “Shunshi” in English, although each is written with different kanji:[1]

* 春子 Seiyōsai Shunshi, also known as Shun’yōsai Shunshi, active 1826–8. Possibly an early name of Hokumyō.[2]
* 春枝 Gakōken Shunshi, a student of Gatōken Shunshi, active in the mid-1820s
* 春始 a student of Gatōken Shunshi, active in the 1830s
