More about Nomura Yoshimitsu
Nomura Yoshimitsu was born in 1870 into an artistic family; his great-grandfather studied under the famous artist Kuniyoshi Utagawa. Yoshimitsu received his formal art education from his father and grandfather, focusing on the traditional Japanese painting style. In 1891, he experimented with Western art, like many other Japanese artists during the Meiji period. At that time, Nomura Yoshimitsu studied under a French artist residing in Kyoto, which influenced his artistic expression. Later, he founded his own art school in Kyoto. In 1931, Yoshimitsu produced a series of six shin hanga woodblock prints for the publisher Sato Shotaro. These were titled "Kyoraku meisho" (Famous Places in Kyoto); his most renowned works today.
