In the literature there is only one painter with
art name (gō)Shōdō;Matsuura Shōdō 松浦松洞 1837-1862
His original given name was Kametarō 龜太郎 (Turtle boy) - this could be the connotation to the pseudonym and subject of picture.
He was a close associate to Yoshida Shōin, one of Japan's distinguished intellectual in the late years of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
According to literature only 6 original paintings are known from him !!!!!
With regards,
