Oshin was the son of Kinoshita Oju (1777 – 1815) and a grandson of Maruyama Ōkyo (1733 – 1795). He received artistic education from all the members of the artistic family including his aunt Maruyama Ozui (1766 – 1829) who later adopted him. Oshin specialised in landscapes and kachoga, the birds and flowers genre, and later in life became the head of the third generation of the Maruyama School.
