Munekuni came from a family of metalworkers originally in the
Saotome school. His name is mentioned in Masuda Myochin ke
rekidai keifu (Genealogy of the Masuda Myochin school) as an artist
living in Iwaki, Aizu province (present-day Fukushima Prefecture).
He apprenticed to Myochin Munemasa, the twenty-sixth generation
of the Myochin school in Edo. This crab appears to be the only
known articulated sculpture signed by Munekuni.
