From depicting historical figures to capturing the beauty of courtesans and actors, Buncho's art offers a glimpse into the vibrant culture of Edo-period Japan. In "The Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup, " created in 1828, Buncho portrays a group of legendary figures known for their love of alcohol. The intricate details and lively expressions bring these characters to life on paper. Another notable piece is "The Second Segawa Kikunojo in the Role of Reizei.

Created around 1769, this artwork exemplifies Buncho's ability to portray human emotions with sensitivity and depth. "One of Thirty-Six Flowers" is another masterpiece by Buncho that showcases his mastery over floral motifs. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures the essence and beauty of each flower depicted. In "A Courtesan Followed by a Girl Attendant Carrying a Doll, " we see two female figures adorned in elaborate kimonos. This print highlights not only Buncho's artistic skills but also provides insight into the fashion trends prevalent during that era. It also ventured into portraying famous actors like Danjuro as well as fictional characters such as Onoe Matsusuke standing at night at Yoshiwara. These prints demonstrate his ability to capture individual personalities through expressive faces and dynamic poses.
