Miyagawa Chōki (宮川 長亀, birth and death dates unknown) was a Japanese artist active in the early 17th century who specialized in ukiyo-e paintings.
Life and work
No biographical details of Chōki survive. He was a follower of Miyagawa Chōshun, and considered Chōshun's leading pupil.
Chōki's surviving works come from the Kyōhō (1716–1736) to the Kanpō eras; most are from Kyōhō. These paintings follow the style of Chōshun in depicting the tastes of the time in fine detail. The majority are set in the pleasure districts.
