Artist: Gyokusho Kawabata川端 玉章 (March 8, 1842 - February 14, 1913) was a Japanese-style painter active during the Meiji period. His real name is Takinosuke. He served as a professor at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, established the Kawabata School of Painting, and worked to foster the next generation of artists, earning him the same reputation as Gaho Hashimoto, his colleague at the school. Born in Takakura Nijo Kawaramachi, Kyoto, as the son of Sahei, a makie artist. His father had been in and out of the Mitsui family, so he went to work as an apprentice to the Mitsui family. When he was 11 years old, his drawing skills were recognized by Takaki Mitsui (Izumi family) and Takahiro Mitsui (Minami family), and Takaki introduced him to Nakajima Raisho. On the other hand, he studied painting theory with Kaisen Oda. Moved to Edo in 1867 . In 1872 (Meiji 5), he studied oil painting with Yuichi Takahashi. In the same year, at the request of the Mitsui family, he painted a plaque depicting ``The Fox's Wedding'' at Sanki Shrine. Although this painting no longer exists, it was Yusho's breakthrough work. However, at that time, life was difficult for him, and he painted nishiki-e (block prints), eyeglasses, and even newspaper supplements. In 1877 (Meiji 10), he was awarded a medal at the first National Industrial Exhibition. In 1878 (Meiji 11), he founded the art school Tenshindo, and in 1879 (Meiji 12) he was involved in the establishment of Ryuike-kai.
