Career
As is the case with most of the Kaigetsudō artists, the details of Anchi"s life are almost completely unknown. His few woodblock prints are of the same subjects and style, and were likely a special commission. He writes, "whereas Ando"s women can often pass for maidens of ladies of quality, Anchi"s girls are manifestly courtesans, lovely but at the same time somehow predatory.
They seem to be thinking only of themselves.
Most men would think twice before putting their love into such hands.".
