Most of Hanabusa's paintings depicted urban life in Edo, and were approached from the perspective of a painter rather than commercial printer. His style, in-between the Kanō and ukiyo-e, is said to have been "more poetic and less formalistic than the Kanō school, and the "bourgeois" spirit of the Genroku period.
Many of this prints are now in museums collections. The most noticeable painting is included in Museum of Fine Arts, Boston- Hanabusa Itchō's hanging scroll that depicts Buddha’s entry into enlightenment, painted in 1713 named, “The Death of the Historical Buddha” is well known in the Edo period.
