Kubo learnt from Katori Nahiko (1723-1782) and Kitao Shigemasa, but was more influenced by Torii Kiyonaga. He changed the original shun (春) to distinguish himself from the numerous students of Katsukawa Shunshō. Kubo made his debut as an ukiyoe artist in the early years of the An'ei period (1772-1781). He developed his own style in the depiction of elegant female beauties. A series of woodblock prints entitled Mutsu Tamagawa (六つ玉川), in which he made very restrained use of colour, is particularly well known. Kubo also created an outstanding series of original paintings of beautiful women. He was also a poet of entertaining poems (狂歌, Kyōka), which he published under the name "Hitofushi no Chizue" or Issetsu Senjō (一節千杖) or also under "Nandaka Shiran" (南陀伽紫蘭). He also produced a number of illustrated collections of such poems. This was only done on the basis of orders; the books were not intended for general sale.rnrnKubo's real surname was Kubota (窪田), which he shortened to one character following the Chinese model. He also occasionally used "Kitao", the name of his teacher, as his surname. As he painted with his left hand, he also used the artist's names Sashōdō (左尚堂) or Shōsadō (尚左堂). His nickname was Yasubē (易兵衛 or 安兵衛).
