Kawanabe Kyōsui

Kawanabe Kyōsui (河鍋 暁翠, January 4, 1868 – May 7, 1935)[1] was a Meiji era painter for nihonga and ukiyoe.

As one of his students, Kyōsui became adept at this, producing works that to this day are indistinguishable from her father's, created in his name.

[4] Kyōsui specialized in genres such as devotional Buddhist paintings, bijin-ga images and scenes from noh and kyōgen theater.

[3] She was accepted into the second Naikoku Kaiga Kyoshinkai (内国共進会, National Painting Competition) at age 17.

[5] A large collection of Kyōsui's work is housed in the Kawanabe Kyosai Memorial MuseumJa in Warabi in Saitama.
