Beisen Kubota

Kubota Beisen (久保田 米僊; 1852 – May 19, 1906) was a Japanese artist and art instructor in the Meiji period. Although his style remained recognisably Japanese, his knowledge of Western principles and methods is also reflected in his work. Beisen trained under Suzuki Hyakunen (1825–1891). The way in which he integrated Western perspective and techniques in his work was a self-taught skill.
