江戸時代の土佐派を代表する絵師。和泉国堺出身。父は土佐光則。名は藤満。住吉如慶は伯父にあたる（異説あり）。18歳の時父に従い京都に移り、1654年、38歳で従五位下左近衛将監に叙され、この時宮廷の絵所預になったと考えられる。同年からの京都御所造営では如慶と共に参加し、襖絵、杉戸絵を制作した。後水尾天皇の覚えが厚く、光起は改めて自邸に絵所の称号を勅許され、「勅許画院」の印象を用いるのを許可された。のちの1681年に法橋となり剃髪、常昭と号し、1685年には法眼に叙した。大和絵の主流だった土佐派にあきたらず、ライバルの狩野派や宋元画を学び、従来の温雅な大和絵に克明な写生描法を取り入れた。 本紙は、経年による染み、汚れ、巻きしわがあります。 表装は、汚れ、しわがあります。 Japanese hanging scroll painting, Edo period, 17th century.
