Sawa Sekkyō (沢 さわ 雪 ゆき 喬 たかし , 沢 さわ 雪 ゆき 崎 さき , or 沢 さわ 雪 ゆき 橋 きょう ) was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was originally a pupil of Tsutsumi Tōrin a painter of the Kanō school , but left the school and became an independent ukiyo-e artist. Sekkyō is best known for his landscapes and bird-and-animal studies, the latter often printed entirely in black or blue ink (aizuri-e ).
