When Roger Keyes wrote his catalogue to the Osaka prints in the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1973 he speculated that Munehiro might have been a pupil of Hirosada. But beyond that nothing else was known. In 1989 Dean Schwab said that Munehiro had probably been the pupil of Hasegawa Sadanobu. That's it. That's all I can find so far. If anything else turns up you will be the first to know. |
