Note:

Machi-eshi, literally translated to "town painter", refers to a class of artists who worked independently in urban centres rather than for the official court. They are known for their novel depictions of everyday scenes, and have had direct influences on ukiyo-e and fuzokuga (genre painting).
町絵師，字面上翻译为“城镇画师”，指的是在城市中独立工作而非为官方宫廷服务的一类艺术家。他们以对日常场景的新颖描绘而闻名，并直接影响了浮世绘和风俗画的发展。
