Tsukada Shukyo was adopted in 1859 by the sword-fitting maker Hata Naokane (Chokkyo), who specialised in carving and from whom Shukyo took the second character of his name. He studies painting with Shibata Zeshin (see GL 4) from the age of 15, and at 20 became an assistant to Kano Natsuo (see M 53), eventually gaining formal acceptance as a pupil of the great man. Taking characters from his two heroes' names, he sometimes called himself Shin'yusai. In 1875, he received an order for gold cups from the Naimusho (Department of Domestic Affairs), and in 1886 he did a craft demonstration in the presence of the Meiji Emperor. As early as 1889, his master Natsuo considered him worthy of inclusion in the first rank alongside such names as Unno Shomin and Toyokawa Mitsunaga.
