 His figures have a soft, warm femininity about them, and Richard Lane considers his coloring among the best in all of ukiyo-e art.His works are almost exclusively of courtesans, and in his works these figures are fuller, and more voluptuous than those of many other artists, in particular those of the somewhat later artist Harunobu.Though many of his pieces are clean ones of courtesans, Chōshun and his students also produced a great number of works of "shunga" (erotic paintings).
