Shunso Hishida is a quiet art student living in the Mori residence during Mei Ayazuki's time in Meiji-era Tokyo in Meiji Tokyo Renka.

Shunso Hishida's life as an art student

Shunso is reserved and often absorbed in painting, making him appear distant even when he is paying close attention. His route explores artistic ambition, loneliness, and his growing attachment to Mei as she encounters historical figures and supernatural phenomena.

Painting, spirits, and his relationship with Mei

His identity is inspired by the historical painter Hishida Shunso, while the series gives him a personal romance and spirit-related experiences. Painting is both his vocation and the main way he expresses feelings he struggles to state directly.
