水野蕪青 Mizuno Busei (b1874) Mizuno Busei was a Japanese painter born in Kochi Prefecture in 1874. His real name was Yasumi, and he also used the art names Kyojōan and Sanrakukyo. A student of the celebrated Kyoto master Takeuchi Seihō, he became known for his refined kachōga (bird‑and‑flower paintings) characterized by delicate brushwork and lyrical naturalism. Busei exhibited at major national art exhibitions, including the Bunten and Teiten, and was active mainly during the late Meiji and Taisho periods.
