Totoya Hokkei (1780-1850) was a 19th century Japanese artist of the ukiyo-e style. Born as Iwakubo Tatsuyuki in Edo, Hokkei started as a fishmonger before becoming an artist. He became Hokusai's first and eventually one of his most renowned students, developing a light and simple design influenced by his master.
