Born as a grandson of Maruyama Okyo (1733-1795) and son of Kinoshita Oju (1777-1815), Oshin became the pupil of his aunt Maruyama Ozui (1766-1829) and was later adopted by her. When he became head of the third generation of the Maruyama School, he specialized in landscapes and kachoga depicted in a slightly realistic manner.
